Background

About Lisa Harding

I have nearly eight years of administrative experience supporting senior executives and three years supporting c-suite executives. I have supported executives across multiple time zones including HST, PST, MDT, and CDT. I have managed multiple calendars, email accounts, and created best practices to establish continuity in executive support. I have mentored and trained executive admin and I have supervised clerical staff in a management role. I have scheduled and coordinated Board meetings, business reviews, department meetings, and team meetings. I have experience coordinating accommodations and logistics for multi-day off-site executive retreats, Boards, and conferences. I have experience creating agendas, finalizing presentations/slide decks, taking minutes, coordinating keynote speakers, and coordinating facility-wide educational events. I have coordinated travel for local, national, and international business for private and public sectors. I am a pro at negotiating complicated travel policies. I have even extracted a staff member from China who was stranded due to an error by her travel agency. I have also rescued my CEO while he was on a fishing boat in Molokai when his return flights had been grounded. My numbers game is very impressive. I am excellent at researching, correcting, and reconciling complicated accounts. I am a policy guru when it comes to travel and expense management. I have assisted on company initiatives by coordinating large-scale events, managing logistics for company kick-offs, and generating data reports. I'm also extremely enthusiastic when it comes to advancing company missions that serve the community and its clients. I can, and have, put out many fires and pulled off miracles in quick turnaround. Whether it is 1) my executive's credit card being lost the night before his early morning flight home, 2) finding hotel rooms during citywide tech events with zero availability, 3) pulling off an educational fair with over 600 attendees in under two months, or 4) shipping specialty ice cream sandwiches from Hawaii to Chicago, I have always found a way to succeed. I am a very good executive assistant. I am a good trainer and I love to build people and infrastructure to create sustainable systems. I love what I do and I'm looking for a permanent home where I can do it.
