@wuraolaademolashanu
Experienced Executive Assistant with a focus on operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am an Executive Assistant with over 7 years of experience dedicated to keeping founders and senior leaders operational in high-stakes environments. My expertise lies in managing complex scheduling across multiple time zones, building efficient hiring pipelines, and creating internal systems that significantly reduce clutter and enhance productivity. I thrive in fast-paced settings where priorities shift rapidly, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.
Throughout my career, I have successfully coordinated numerous interviews, streamlined onboarding processes, and supported executive decision-making. My approach is proactive; I build what doesn't exist, fix what’s broken, and ensure that my leaders can focus on what truly matters. My work encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including calendar management, travel logistics, and team support, all executed with speed and discretion.
