Sherin Sultana

I’m an executive coordination and operations professional with 18+ years supporting senior leadership across UNESCO and international development environments. I’m known as a trusted partner to C-level executives and Heads of Office, bringing diplomacy, confidentiality, and precision to every detail.

In my current role as Secretary to the Head of Office at UNESCO, I manage high-level communications, scheduling, travel, and stakeholder engagement. I coordinate meetings with government ministries, UN agencies, ambassadors, development partners, and international organizations, and I draft executive correspondence, briefing notes, reports, presentations, speeches, and official documentation.

I also own operational continuity and people support through HR administration, recruitment processes, onboarding, contract management, and personnel coordination. I lead planning and logistics for conferences, workshops, missions, diplomatic visits, and virtual events, while maintaining secure document management systems and compliance with organizational procedures.

Earlier, as an Executive Office Assistant at GIZ, I provided executive, HR, procurement, logistics, and operational support across multiple international development projects—coordinating consultants, government counterparts, donors, and international experts. A key highlight in my work is supporting the transition to hybrid operations while strengthening office-wide digital records management and executive coordination systems, backed by training in records management, business continuity, and crisis management.
