Your business is growing; but your calendar, inbox, follow-ups, and daily operations shouldn't be growing on your mental to-do list.
When you're a founder, CEO, or senior leader, it's easy to become the bottleneck without realizing it. You're switching between meetings, emails, client requests, scheduling, follow-ups, documents, and operational decisions; while still trying to focus on the work that actually moves the business forward.
That's where I come in.
I’m an Executive Assistant who acts as a proactive right-hand partner to founders, CEOs, agency owners, and senior leaders. I take ownership of the details behind the scenes so you don't have to constantly remember what needs to happen next, chase follow-ups, or spend valuable time coordinating moving pieces.
My goal isn't simply to complete tasks.
It's to reduce the amount of work and mental load sitting on your plate.
Here's what I can take ownership of:
Executive Support
• Calendar and schedule management
• Inbox organization and email communication
• Meeting coordination and scheduling
• Meeting notes, action items and follow-ups
• Appointment and travel coordination
• Deadline and priority tracking
Operations & Business Support
• Project and task coordination
• CRM management and data organization
• Workflow coordination
• SOP and process documentation
• Research and reporting
• Document preparation
• Administrative follow-through
Client & Sales Support
• Customer communication via email and chat
• Client support and follow-up
• Lead research and prospecting
• CRM updates and pipeline organization
• Appointment setting
What makes my approach different is that I don't want to be another person you have to manage.
I look at the bigger picture, identify what needs to happen next, keep track of moving pieces, communicate clearly, and follow through until things are completed.
Proof that I can handle the details
My background spans executive support, customer service, administration, sales, CRM management, and operations, giving me experience working across both internal business processes and client-facing responsibilities.
A few examples:
• Organized and processed 4000+ contacts into structured tracking records with contact-status and follow-up visibility.
• Experienced with HubSpot, Zoho CRM, My Flow CRM, Follow Up Boss and Apollo. io for CRM organization, prospect research and business-development support.
• Experienced with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365, Canva, Trello, Notion, Slack and Zoom.
• Supported customer-facing and administrative operations across multiple professional environments, requiring strong communication, organization and follow-through.
• My BSc (Hons) in Psychology also gives me a strong foundation in communication, understanding people, and navigating professional interactions thoughtfully.
The result?
You spend less time keeping track of the details and more time focusing on decisions, clients, leadership, and growth.
You shouldn't have to wonder whether something was followed up, whether a meeting was scheduled, or whether an important task slipped through the cracks.
You should be able to delegate it and know it's being handled.
If you're looking for an Executive Assistant who is proactive, dependable, detail-oriented, and capable of taking ownership without constant micromanagement, I'd love to learn more about your business.
Send me a message and tell me what is currently taking the most time off your plate. I'll show you how I can take ownership of it.
