WHAT I DO
OPERATIONS
I take fundamental infrastructure projects off the plate of the executive leadership team by selecting the appropriate tools & resources, implemeting and then managing them. Examples:
Payroll, accounting & legal; Benefits; Email and document management; Insurances; Travel policy and expense management; Office space; Office moves; HR Systems; Websites & Communications.
I have experience implementing all of these in multiple places.
EXECUTIVE SUPPORT
As the partner to the CEO and executive team, not only can be trusted with board & investor management, calendar and travel management, also I help build & maintain relationships, and assist and support the flow of information. Part of that is helping build the culture of the company.
I am the first one to throw up an amber flag, give honest feedback, am the eyes and ears and the souding board for the team, look for inefficiencies and ensure that the team remains aligned and excited to work together.
SPECIAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Whether it is organizing and executing Investor Days in foreign cities, team off-sites, an office search, build out or moves, new websites, the next board meeting, or even figuring out how to get people from three countries to an in-person strategy meeting in the midst of an international lockdown. I execute projects with a high degree of precision. "It can't be done" is not in my vocabulary.
THE PEOPLE PERSON
I thoroughly enjoy connecting with and coordinating people. My first position out of grad school, as a newspaper reporter, taught me that every person has a story to tell and soon I was hearing and retelling their stories.
I have high social awareness, empathy, I am honest and know when to give hard truths and when to soften it. I can pivot and adjust to different circumstances and thrive in those situations. These skills can be an essential tool in the arsenal of the leadership.
