• Own all scheduling coordination across Slack and email, managing incoming meeting requests from internal and external stakeholders, getting the right people on invites, and handling all back-and-forth communication end-to-end.
• Prepare a daily briefing snapshot each evening with meeting context, attendee background, relevant documents, and LinkedIn profiles to ensure the CEO starts every day fully prepared.
• Prepare for meetings by organizing materials, taking clear and effective notes, and tracking action items through completion.
