Senior executive personal assistant and estate manager delivering confidential support, IPO execution, and high-impact VIP operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic, solutions-oriented executive personal assistant and estate manager with extensive experience supporting senior finance leadership, CEOs, and chairmen across complex, high-visibility environments. I’m known for consistently exceeding expectations through proactive leadership, meticulous planning, and strong relationship-building.
Most recently, I’ve supported IPO operational execution for CFO and finance leadership, coordinating with NASDAQ, sponsors, and Investor Relations under strict confidentiality while navigating fast-moving go-live windows. In parallel, I’ve managed executive calendars, travel, and high-priority projects, while monitoring market trends to identify business opportunities.
I also bring hands-on estate and operational leadership—directing management across multiple global properties, coordinating private travel and luxury accommodations, and ensuring elite day-to-day execution. From large-scale VIP events to expense optimization and contract coordination, I keep operations seamless, discreet, and performance-focused.
