Background

About Tessan Goder

As a person I am trying to see everything from the positive side. I am an enthusiastic and conscientious professional with good interpersonal & communication skills, and have extensive experience as a Senior Business Administrator/Executive Assistant, I work with a very strong customer focused mentality, have a positive approach to my work, and am extremely well organised and always strive for the highest standards. I can lead projects as well as being a strong team player and thrive in an environment where initiative is encouraged and where opportunities exist to develop and grow with the business. In my roll today I meet people at all levels in the company, I handle a huge amount of confidential information and sees it as very natural for me to meet people in a professional manner. I have high integrity and self-confidence. My experience as Personal Assistant to Global Managers has required me to be able to work independent and to be proactive in many areas at the same time and always be prepared to think broader to see possibilities to co-ordinating meetings; travel; streamline processes to make them more efficient and challenge the status quo As an Executive Assistant to a General manager and also support of AstraZeneca AB Presidents office you become the “focal point” and the contact person across functions in many ways, which demands instinctive feeling for what is important/high priority and what can wait, and has enabled me to develop a strong network of contacts. It also requires awareness out to the organisation so that you do not get interpreted as a “gate keeper” rather than a team player and an enabler that represents both the manager and the rest of the organisation. The work demands high flexibility, patience and the ability to work under stress as there is a lot of changes all the time that needs to be handled quickly and efficiently. And most important is that I really enjoy my work, have amazing colleagues and a fantastic work environment.
