Executive Assistant and Luxury Lifestyle Concierge
With a wealth of experience at elite level, assisting the most senior of corporate executives and as a private PA, I possess a varied skill set and enjoy turning my hand to anything that can be delegated. I relish a challenge and demonstrate initiative, resourcefulness and (where necessary) diplomacy in quickly and effectively solving clients' problems, interacting effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
My background includes fifteen years at Goldman Sachs’ London and Sydney offices, supporting a number of partners and, ultimately, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Australia and New Zealand. This role required exceptional verbal and written communication skills and I was regularly relied upon to compose references, referrals and letters to government ministers, chairmen/chief executives and senior industry officials.
Diligent, dependable and discrete, I have built my business on integrity and kindness.
