- Act as a trusted liaison for senior stakeholders, and build relationships with their assistants to make coordination easy
- Coordinate board meetings and dinners, including venues and logistics
Travel, Conferences, and Events
- Book all travel and itineraries, and re-plan quickly when flights are canceled or plans change
- Manage Shanthi’s conference schedules, triaging inbound meeting requests and partnering with Sales and Marketing on customer dinners and events
Personal Support
- Handle in-person errands and logistics, such as dry cleaning, returns, deliveries, and appointments
- Manage personal scheduling, reservations, and household vendors around a heavy travel calendar
Company and Team Support
- Partner with Sales, Marketing, and People on anything that needs Shanthi’s time or input
- Coordinate gifts and notes on her behalf, source vendors for swag and event supplies, and take on special projects that make the CEO’s office run better
