Operations and Executive Support professional with 5+ years of professional experience, including hands-on operations and executive support
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual Executive Assistant and Operations professional with 5+ years supporting senior leadership across AI safety, e-commerce, and global events. I bring dependable calendar and stakeholder management, confidential records handling, and cross-department coordination in high-accountability environments.
Most recently, I managed an executive’s calendar, email, and travel logistics end-to-end, coordinating meetings weekly as a primary gatekeeper. I prepared agendas, tracked action items, maintained confidential records, and stepped in during meetings when independent prioritization and follow-through were needed.
I also built and ran a Google Workspace-based operations system to track tasks, deadlines, and recurring workflows—solo, without a dedicated ops team. In parallel, I supported online operations and backend administration for the inaugural Abu Dhabi AI Safety Summit, and owned end-to-end event logistics for programs I helped coordinate.
Earlier roles strengthened my customer- and data-driven operations mindset: I managed a high-volume multi-market inquiry queue (~1,600/week) with SLAs using Salesforce CRM, and I led e-commerce business development and channel operations across platforms like Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora. I’m energized by roles where I can bring structure, responsiveness, and steady execution to complex stakeholder ecosystems.
