Executive Assistant leveraging AI and CRM automation to deliver confidential, repeatable operations.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Executive Assistant with 8+ years of experience supporting C-suite leaders across multiple time zones internationally. I independently manage high-volume executive calendars, confidential correspondence, inbox triage, and meeting coordination—then turn disorganized operations into reliable, repeatable systems that help leaders focus on growth.
Across KPMG Nigeria and Globb Technology Solutions, I’ve improved execution and speed by automating workflows and using AI-assisted processes with Claude AI and ChatGPT daily. I created 50+ presentation templates (cutting preparation time by 30%), used AI to reduce task completion time by an estimated 40%, and reduced appointment scheduling conflicts by 20% through improved calendar coordination—while also maintaining 99% CRM scheduling accuracy and supporting a 200+ attendee webinar end-to-end.
