What I'm looking for
I’m a senior executive assistant with 11+ years’ experience supporting senior leadership, including C-suite executives. I bring a proactive, detail-orientated approach to complex diary and inbox management, ensuring structured, reliable support in professional environments.
I’ve provided dedicated PA support across investment, product, sales, and board-level functions—managing competing priorities, coordinating international logistics, and handling sensitive information with discretion. From preparing presentations and internal communications to managing travel and expenses via Concur and purchase orders/invoices in Navision, I focus on smooth team operations, timely deadlines, and dependable execution.
