About

Professional summary

I am an operations leader and executive assistant with nearly 20 years of experience supporting CEOs, founders, senior executives, and distributed teams. My background combines executive support, operations management, program delivery, stakeholder coordination, and client-facing work across the US, UK, Asia, and the Philippines.

I have scaled remote operations teams, built practical workflows, and improved accountability through clear communication standards, reporting routines, SOPs, and project tracking systems. At MADX Digital, I worked directly with founders to grow a remote team to approximately 30 members while supporting delivery, hiring, planning, and team culture.

I am experienced in high-volume executive administration, including complex calendar and inbox management, confidential correspondence, travel and visa coordination, meeting preparation, expense reporting, invoicing, and action-item tracking. At Sykes Asia, I supported an SVP, four senior directors, and eleven directors in a highly confidential and fast-paced environment.

I also bring hands-on experience in remote-work activation, vendor management, logistics, shuttle operations, onboarding, offboarding, CRM administration, email marketing, and event coordination. During the COVID-19 transition, I helped activate work-from-home arrangements for up to 4,000 employees and managed transportation operations for up to 800 onsite employees.

I enjoy building organized, people-focused operations that help leadership teams make decisions, meet commitments, and serve clients effectively. I am comfortable working remotely across time zones and using modern collaboration, automation, CRM, finance, and project-management platforms.
