Senior Executive Assistant @ Slate Medicines

About

I partner with C-suite leaders to help run the business behind the scenes. For the past 15+ years, I’ve supported executives across healthcare, SaaS, and global organizations—not just by managing calendars and logistics, but by driving the operational rhythm that keeps leadership teams aligned and moving forward. I operate as an extension of my executives. That means: Tracking priorities and ensuring follow-through across teams Preparing leaders for key meetings, board interactions, and decision points Building agendas, presentations, and communications that move conversations forward Creating structure in fast-moving environments where clarity is critical I’ve supported CROs, CIOs, COOs, CEOs, and senior leadership teams—often simultaneously—serving as a central point of coordination across functions. I’m known for bringing calm to complexity, exercising sound judgment, and keeping high-stakes work on track without needing to be asked twice. Some highlights: Supported multi-executive C-suite leadership teams in enterprise and high-growth environments Led execution of board meetings, executive committees, and national leadership sessions Contributed to reporting and coordination tied to an $81M marketing budget Planned and executed large-scale meetings, trainings, and incentive programs What I enjoy most is being embedded in the business—connecting dots, anticipating needs, and helping leaders stay focused on what matters most. Open to connecting with leaders and teams who value strong partnership, operational rigor, and execution.
