Danielle Perez

I am a Senior Virtual Assistant and Operations Project Coordinator with over eight years of experience supporting founders, executives, and leadership teams across the UK and West Africa. My work sits at the intersection of executive support, operations, and project delivery, helping leaders turn strategy into clear, structured, and well executed action.

I specialize in bringing order to complexity. Whether managing multiple programmes, coordinating cross functional teams, or building systems from the ground up, I am known for creating workflows that are efficient, scalable, and easy to maintain. I take ownership of calendars, inboxes, meetings, documentation, reporting, and project trackers, ensuring leaders can focus on decision making while operations run smoothly in the background.

In my current role as Senior Operations & Project Coordinator at Transcend Education, I support founders and senior leadership across multi country initiatives. I manage timelines, deliverables, and reporting frameworks, coordinate internal teams and external stakeholders, and prepare board level reports, proposals, and presentations. My role requires a high level of autonomy, discretion, and judgement, particularly when balancing competing priorities across distributed teams.

Previously, I have held operations and administrative leadership roles within education organizations, where I supported compliance, inspections, admissions, data reporting, and internal coordination. Across all roles, I bring a strong eye for detail, clear communication, and a calm, solutions focused approach especially in fast paced or high stakes environments.

Academically, I hold a Master’s degree in Policy Studies in Education and a PGCE from University College London, and I am currently completing a Doctorate in Education at the University of Portsmouth. This background strengthens my analytical thinking, documentation skills, and ability to work with complex systems, policies, and stakeholders.

I am highly organized, proactive, and comfortable operating independently in senior support roles. I thrive in remote, global environments and take pride in being a trusted operational partner, someone leaders can rely on to anticipate needs, solve problems, and keep everything moving forward.
