Ideal Candidate Profile
You're a self-starter who thrives on completing tasks efficiently and with excellence. You anticipate needs before being asked, communicate proactively and with brevity & clarity, and take genuine pride in making someone else's life easier.

You're equally comfortable booking a business meeting and coordinating a personal appointment. You handle sensitive information with the utmost discretion and understand that supporting a busy entrepreneur means wearing many hats- from strategic business tasks to practical personal coordination.
You're comfortable working independently, but you know when to ask questions. You don't need hand-holding, but you do need clear priorities. You bring solutions, not just problems. You problem solve instead of making excuses.
