    • Handle confidential and sensitive information, including personnel, financial, and strategic matters, with sound judgment.
    • Manage expense reports and reimbursements accurately and on schedule.
    • Coordinate closely with other executive assistants and the leadership team to keep cross-functional work moving.
    • Support special projects and ad hoc initiatives as directed by the CEO.
    • Takes on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to support the success of the team and organization.
