Senior Executive Assistant | Founder’s Office | Business Operations
Remote (UTC +1)
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Senior Executive Assistant and Business Operations professional with 5+ years supporting
founders and C-suite leaders across fashion, media, hospitality, consulting, and techdriven environments.
I’ve worked across different industries, but my role has always remained the same at its
core, bringing structure to fast-moving environments, supporting decision-making, and
making sure execution actually happens. I work closely behind the scenes, keeping
priorities clear, teams aligned, and operations running smoothly. I’m especially drawn to
startup environments where things move quickly, ideas evolve constantly, and strong
execution is what separates intention from impact.
