What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own operations and program execution end-to-end—supporting senior leadership, running stakeholder-ready documentation, and delivering dashboards, compliance, and events with high confidentiality and precision.

I’m a results-driven Operations & Program Management professional with 8+ years of experience supporting senior leadership and executing programs across government institutions, incubation centres, research organizations, and foundation-level initiatives. I coordinate executive calendars and high-stakes meetings, prepare confidential documentation and reporting, and ensure compliance-ready processes.

I lead end-to-end office and program operations—driving procurement and vendor negotiations, maintaining asset/inventory control, building KPI dashboards and MIS reports, and supporting government submissions. I also manage national and international events and digital outreach (including LinkedIn outreach and Canva-based creatives), helping teams streamline workflows and achieve organizational goals.
