I’ve always been the go-to person when it comes to getting things done. In this role, I wore many hats as an executive assistant, office manager, personal assistant, project coordinator, and operations manager for the owner of three startups: LiveSpark (pyrotechnical special effects), Concrete Interactive (web and mobile app development), and Velocity (machine learning software). I kept things running smoothly, handling everything from accounts payable/receivable, payroll, insurance, and legal maintenance to onboarding and licensing.I managed a $1M+ budget across three ventures, ensuring smooth operations, including expenses, tax prep, and purchasing supplies. I also coordinated high-budget projects, working with big-name clients like Disney, Zappos, and the Xtreme Drone Circuit. My attention to detail was key in managing P&L, solving problems, and overseeing a team of contractors and staff to ensure deadlines and quality were always met.I also spearheaded our team building and hiring process—writing job descriptions, screening candidates, and managing onboarding. I partnered closely with accountants for taxes and made sure all the business logistics were handled with precision, allowing the owner to focus on innovation and growth.
