About
Hi, my name is Jessie. I have experience working for startup companies located in both Taiwan and the United States. I specialize in bringing structure to ambiguity: using analysis, organization, and process optimization to help teams run more efficiently and execute on key decisions. I enjoy the fast-paced, iterative nature of startups and working closely with others to achieve shared goals!
My work involves using AI and automation tools like n8n to streamline processes, sales tools such as Apollo.io for outreach campaigns, and event management platforms including Eventbrite. I have coordinated cross-functional teams, conducted customer feedback sessions, and managed compliance and financial risk mitigation in startup and accelerator settings.
What I'm looking for
I’m looking for contract, remote Executive Assistant roles at startups where I can make a meaningful contribution, grow alongside the company, and potentially take on a more substantial role over time.
