  • Design, prepare, and edit executive communications and presentation materials: draft emails, memos, and PowerPoint decks that mirror the GM’s voice, ensuring brand consistency and clarity.
  • Own the full meeting lifecycle: Set agendas, distribute pre-reads, capture succinct minutes, and track follow-through on action items for leadership, board, and cross-functional forums.
  • Act as the primary liaison to internal and external stakeholders. Screen inquiries, safeguard sensitive HR/financial information, and orchestrate VIP visits
  • Proactively spot roadblocks and drive process improvements—implement tools and automations that streamline workflows, elevate efficiency, and keep critical projects moving forward.
