I believe that, behind every Executive, is an Executive Assistant who makes the business happen. I approach my role and apply my mind and behavior as a strategic partner, trusted confidant and professional problem solver to my senior Executives. I do this by:- Ensuring that I provide high-level Administrative support to my Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operations Officer, simultaneously supporting them administratively in their responsibilities to drive the engine of the company, namely the Executive Team.- Strategically applying the below listed critical skills required for me to take action on behalf of the organisation’s Executive in order to shape a positive image of the company and ensure that key project deadlines are met, such as: • Leadership • Critical thinking (applying sound judgment as I work with very little direction) • Organisational skills (prioritizing and re-prioritizing commitments in order to • Communication • Business writing • Technological skills- Finding common threads among unrelated events in order to draw conclusions about potential issues to be addressed by senior Executives.- Collaborating with all internal and external stakeholders, working to form and accomplish mutual goals through joint efforts.I keep my ear to the ground and remain fine-tuned into the day to day operations of the business in order to anticipate the needs of my senior Executives. Today’s executives are fairly self-sufficient as a result of their reliance on high tech tools, applications and technologies which are enabling them to easily manage their travel, calendars and commitments, resulting in the need for simple admin help fast becoming extinct. I therefore use my vast knowledge, skills and experience in Projects Management, Administration and Office Management, to ensure effective cross team collaborations and to provide strategic counsel, technical expertise and critical analysis, instead of simply providing basic administrative assistance.
