Executive Assistant

Hello hiring manager, A competent and reliable communicator with over 8 years experience in a high-level analytical environment and 6 years experience as an executive assistant working with and supporting C-level executives. Having worked for large organisations and small start-ups, I appreciate the importance of wearing multiple hats and time management. My biggest professional achievement was the lead organiser of delivering over 200mts of structural equipment for the 2018 Tokyo Winter Olympics. Accuracy, attention to detail, time management, and communication were vital as I was responsible for over 8 staff members in 3 countries. Start-up companies offer the opportunity to learn new skills and progression. I previously worked for a small family-run business as employee number 2. I successfully implemented new procedures and streamlined processes. An employee handbook was created for new colleagues and guides were given to the admin department. As the company progressed, a process for HR allowed colleagues to discuss targets, and raise any potential issues. I progressed with the company as I was committed and made a difference. The CEO expressed an interest in exploring new business ventures, as a result, they decided to slowly close the company down. The CEO decided to take a break from the company to travel. For over 1 month it was almost impossible to contact them as they didn’t have access to the internet and would regularly switch numbers according to countries they were in. Thus, the entirety of the business was trusted upon me for the whole month. This was a truly unique experience as I had to decide on business-related matters and take full responsibility for the outcomes.
