Executive Virtual Assistant driving operational clarity and strategic support.
What I'm looking for
I am an Executive Virtual Assistant with over 8 years of remote experience supporting fast-paced leaders and driving measurable operational improvements. I bring structure to complexity, protect executive time, and anticipate needs before they surface.
At Realign I served as a strategic right-hand partner to executive leadership, managing complex multi-time-zone calendars and reducing scheduling friction by 40%. I owned inbox triage and high-priority communications, improving response efficiency by 35% while ensuring strategic alignment.
Earlier roles include Compliance & Risk Analyst at Sendwave International, where I redesigned KYC protocols to reduce false positives by 35% and improved fraud detection turnaround by 25%, and Customer Care Associate at Copia Kenya, where I drove 92% customer satisfaction and maintained 85%+ first-contact resolution.
I excel at workflow automation, SOP development, confidential communications handling, and stakeholder management, and I leverage tools such as Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, Zoom, Zendesk, and Salesforce to deliver reliable, process-driven support.
