HIGH GROWTH START-UP SPECIALIST!
ABOUT ME — WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HIRE ME
You're a busy founder, CEO, or executive who needs more than a task-taker — you need a trusted right hand who thinks three steps ahead, never drops a ball, and makes you look good in every room (virtual or otherwise). That's exactly what I do.
With 20+ years supporting C-Suite executives across energy, finance, and tech — including fully remote roles — I bring the polish of an in-house EA with the flexibility of a freelancer. I hold the globally recognized Certified World Class Assistant (CWCA) designation and have supported boards of directors, managed multi-country offices, and secured over $1.7M in grant funding for clients in Canada.
◆ WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME OVER OTHER FREELANCERS
→ I've done this at the highest level — CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and Boards of Directors, not just managers.
→ Remote-first since 2024: I'm set up, disciplined, and proven in async/virtual environments across time zones.
→ I treat your business like my own — proactive, not reactive. I anticipate issues before they become problems.
→ Certified World Class Assistant (CWCA) — one of a small group of EAs in Canada to hold this credential.
→ No learning curve on governance: I've run board meetings, filed SEDI & SEDAR, and administered Diligent portals.
→ Flexible engagement: hourly, retainer, or project-based. I scale to your needs.
