Executive Assistant supporting founders and C-suite with complex calendars, travel, and confidential operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Executive Assistant with 9+ years supporting founders and C-suite leaders across fast-paced, international environments. I’m known as a trusted, discreet partner who anticipates needs, protects focus time, and keeps complex executive operations running smoothly.
In my current role as Executive Assistant to two founders (remote), I proactively manage priorities, business operations, and confidential matters. I own complex executive calendars, coordinate domestic and international travel, plan company events, and handle executive expense reporting through QuickBooks Online—while streamlining processes to improve organizational effectiveness.
Previously, I supported senior leadership in London as Executive Assistant to the EMEA CEO and Global CTO and CFO. I managed highly complex calendars across multiple countries and time zones, processed expenses on Concur, served as a primary liaison between executives and stakeholders, planned executive and corporate events, and supported in-depth visa applications.
I also bring strong front-office and administrative experience. As Head Receptionist at AKQA, I managed a small team, trained others on systems including Concur and Condecco, and coordinated travel support. Earlier, as an Administrative Assistant, I managed diaries, supported recruitment coordination, and led new employee induction through Weston Williamson + Partners.
