About
Executive support meets business growth
I've thrived as Managing Partner, Executive Assistant to a CEO, Business Development Executive, Operations Manager and Senior HR Administrator. I support leaders in day-to-day operations, manage schedules and keep communication smooth between stakeholders — handling confidential work with discretion.
On the growth side, I devise data-driven email marketing strategies, manage and nurture sales leads, coordinate meetings and events, and align marketing with company goals.
Structure, reliability and collaboration — in every team I join.
What I bring
- Operational rigour — procurement, production and budget control that holds to plan.
- Executive support — schedules, correspondence and stakeholder communication handled with discretion.
- Pipeline growth — researched lead generation, qualification and honest reporting.
- Team enablement — recruiting, training and inductions that raise the standard across teams.
