What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for strategic involvement.

I am an Executive Assistant with over 20 years of experience, adept at supporting senior executives in both national and international companies. My career has been marked by my ability to coordinate and monitor strategic projects directly assigned by the CEO, while also serving as Secretary to the Executive Committee. I pride myself on being analytical and detail-oriented, with strong organizational and communication skills that allow me to thrive in demanding and fast-paced environments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex calendars and email communications, prioritized meetings, and implemented systems to enhance operational efficiency. My role at Toqio, a fintech company, has allowed me to provide executive support to the CEO and CCO, ensuring that strategic priorities are met. I have also played a key role in developing the 5-year Strategic Plan and coordinating communication strategies for large-scale events, demonstrating my ability to contribute to high-level organizational goals.

In addition to my executive support skills, I have a strong background in project management, having led initiatives that achieved significant milestones, such as the LEED Gold certification for workplace sustainability. I am passionate about fostering collaboration across all levels of an organization and am committed to maintaining confidentiality and integrity in all my professional dealings.
