Provide proactive executive support, including strategic calendar management, complex inbox management, meeting preparation, and follow-ups.

Provide dynamic on-site support, which occasionally requires carrying bags, laptops, iPads, or papers and moving frequently around the office.
Drive special projects and operational initiatives run out of the Office of the President, including offsites, board preparation, and external relationship coordination.
