What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing high-level executive support in a professional, collaborative environment where I can manage complex schedules, investor relations tasks, travel logistics, and contribute to operational efficiency.

I am a bilingual executive assistant with over 20 years supporting C-level executives across investor relations, corporate communications, and operations. I excel in calendar and travel management, board and investor meeting coordination, expense and treasury processes, and preparing bilingual presentations and reports.

I have a B.A. in Bilingual Executive Secretariat, a postgraduate specialization in English, and continuous professional training in corporate governance and time management. I deliver discreet, detail-oriented support for national and international executives, liaise with investors and regulatory bodies, and streamline HR and administrative processes to enable strategic leadership.
