Executive assistant to the CEO of a global biodata nonprofit
U.S.-based executive assistant to the CEO of a nonprofit data trust: calendar, inbox, follow-ups and the logistics that keep a distributed leader on schedule.
The engagement
The CEO of a nonprofit that stewards biological data infrastructure hired me through Upwork in January 2026 as a U.S.-based executive assistant. The first contract ran through April; the client brought me back in July 2026 and the engagement is ongoing.
What I do
- Own the calendar across time zones, including the scheduling back-and-forth with the people the CEO needs to meet.
- Triage the inbox so the CEO sees what needs a decision and nothing else.
- Prepare meeting materials, track action items and chase follow-ups until they close.
Why it matters
Being asked back is the review that counts. The role works when the CEO stops thinking about logistics entirely.
