Give me the things taking up your time, and Iโll give you more room to focus on actually running your business.
Hi! Iโm Lanie ๐๐ป Iโm an Executive Assistant with 5+ years of experience supporting CEOs, founders, executives, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses.
Iโm also a licensed freelancer in the UAE with my own registered company, so this isnโt something I do casually on the side. This is my business, and supporting other peopleโs businesses is what I do.
Think of me as the person behind the scenes making sure things actually get done.
Need someone to organize a chaotic calendar? Iโm on it.
Inbox getting out of control? Send it my way.
Need a meeting arranged across three time zones? No problem.
Travel itinerary? Research? Follow-ups? Presentation due tomorrow? A project that has 17 little moving pieces? Yep, those too. ๐
Here are some of the things I can take off your plate:
๐ Calendar, scheduling & meeting coordination
๐ฉ Inbox & email management
โ๏ธ Travel planning, bookings & detailed itineraries
๐ Research & information gathering
๐ Presentations, reports & documents
๐ Project coordination & task tracking
๐ค Client, vendor & team coordination
๐ฌ Follow-ups & correspondence
๐งพ Invoicing, expenses & administrative support
๐ฑ Social media & digital content support
๐จ Graphics, marketing materials & creative support
๐ Data entry, file organization & documentation
My background is a mix of executive support, administration, project coordination, marketing and design, which means you donโt necessarily need to hire five different people every time something falls slightly outside the traditional EA job description.
Iโve worked with businesses and executives internationally, including clients in Europe, Dubai, Australia and the United States, and Iโm comfortable working remotely across different time zones, teams and working styles.
I also hold additional training and certifications in project management, marketing, customer service, social media and AI.
But beyond the tools and experience, I think a good Executive Assistant comes down to something much simpler:
Pay attention. Think ahead. Communicate. And donโt make the client chase you for things.
I like figuring things out, keeping track of the little details, and being the person you can message with โLanie, can you handle this?โ and know itโs being taken care of.
Iโm organized, resourceful, comfortable with confidential information, and Iโm not afraid to ask questions when something needs clarification. I also learn new systems quickly, so if you already have your own processes and tools, Iโm happy to work around the way you operate.
If youโre looking for an assistant who can become part of how your business runs, rather than someone you have to constantly manage, send me a message. ๐

I help B2B companies fill their pipeline and book more sales meetings. I generate qualified leads, set appointments, and automate the follow up with CRM and AI so no lead ever slips. Bilingual in English and French, based in Dubai, working with clients worldwide.
Most businesses don't have a lead problem, they have a system problem. Leads leak, follow ups get forgotten, and reps spend the day on admin instead of selling. I build the engine that fixes that end to end, then I keep it running.
WHAT I DO FOR YOU
โข B2B lead generation. Verified, targeted prospect lists and multichannel outreach that put real buyers in front of you.
โข Appointment setting and cold calling. I turn cold contacts into booked meetings, in English and French.
โข CRM setup and automation. HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho and Odoo set up to capture, nurture, and never drop a lead.
โข Odoo and ERP setup and customization. One system to run your sales, operations and reporting in one place.
โข Cold email and WhatsApp outreach automation. Sequences that follow up on time, every time.
โข AI chatbots and assistants that answer, qualify and book leads for you around the clock.
WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME
โข You get a dedicated growth expert, not a one off freelancer, backed by a real team that handles delivery, so nothing gets dropped.
โข I run the outreach and the CRM behind it, so your whole pipeline is one connected system instead of scattered tools.
โข Bilingual English and French, so I can sell into both markets for you.
โข Honest, responsive, and focused on one thing, more booked calls on your calendar.
TOOLS I WORK IN
Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Odoo, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Instantly, Smartlead, cold email and dialer platforms, plus CRM and ERP automation.
If you want a predictable flow of qualified leads and a system that actually follows up, let's talk. Send me a message with one sentence about your business and your number one goal, and I will reply with exactly how I would approach it.
