• Coordinate end-to-end travel itineraries (air, hotel, car, dining) and provide personal support to ensure all professional and personal obligations are met with precision.
• Handle sensitive and confidential personal and company information with high integrity and discretion.
• Prepare reports, documents, and internal materials as needed, including daily, weekly, and meeting briefings with clear insights, context, and decision points.
• Complete duties as assigned by your manager.
