What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing high-level executive support or operations coordination where I can streamline workflows, manage complex schedules, and contribute to team efficiency in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a resourceful Executive Assistant with extensive experience supporting senior leaders across South Africa and international teams, managing complex diaries, global travel logistics, and confidential communications with discretion. I streamline workflows, handle HR administration and internal coordination, and use tools like Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, HubSpot, and basic Salesforce to keep executives focused on strategy.

Calm under pressure and detail-driven, I have delivered measurable operational improvements in recruitment support, office administration, marketing coordination, and event logistics across roles at Shell South Africa, Rawson Property Group, Supa Quick Tyre Experts, and freelance clients. I combine strong project coordination, vendor management, and automation skills (Zapier, Make, IFTTT) with an AI-forward productivity approach (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) to maximize executive time and organizational efficiency.
