@vallidyakova
Executive Assistant and business support pro, streamlining operations and enabling leaders to focus.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business/Executive Assistant with hands-on experience supporting founders and C-level executives—from daily operations to product development. I own day-to-day processes end-to-end, managing priorities, calendars, workload, and follow-through so leadership can focus on what matters most. I’m fluent in English and experienced with international projects and cross-border teams.
In my recent role as Business Assistant to CEO, I handle full operational support (calendar, priorities, task tracking, reporting, and agreement follow-up) and coordinate projects by sourcing contractors, setting deadlines, and controlling quality and outcomes. I also contributed to go-to-market work like market/competitor analysis, product positioning, and UX improvements, while using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, TLDV) to improve analysis, research, content preparation, and process automation. Key results include cutting report preparation time by 70%, coordinating 30+ contractors and 35+ projects in parallel, and building a Notion knowledge base; earlier, I supported founder projects, launched an education product from scratch (~RUB 1,000,000 revenue), grew an audience from 1,000 to 80,000 followers in 3 months without paid advertising, and coordinated 20+ events and international trips.
