Commercially minded, I am an integral part of the executive team, enabling CEOs and senior directors to be more productive. Highly competent at complex diary management, leading special projects, organising events and ensuring the smooth running of executive life, I effectively organise, plan, delegate and ensure tasks are actioned. I undertake daily operations, anticipate needs and plan for every contingency, enabling the CEO to engage in critical executive duties.Proactive and a creative problem solver, I have a track record of making significant savings through re-negotiation of supplier contracts and creating more efficient processes. I have led a European wide project to launch a new, well-known make-up brand, including the co-ordination of market research, consumer testing and display design. It also included the management of a £1.6+m budget and monthly accruals for all countries involved. My experience includes contract management, non-disclosure agreements, patent applications, product range development, brand development and the organisation of large international events. A personable individual with strong interpersonal skills, I quickly build a good rapport and good relations across the organisation. I am always diplomatic and discrete in my approach. In my spare time, I love to salsa dance, read true crime stories and keep fit.
