I’m Edna — Senior Executive Assistant & Operations Manager based in
Nairobi (GMT+3). 5+ years running the back end for founders in fashion,
beauty, tech, biotech, and the occasional nonprofit.
If your calendar is chasing you, your Notion is half-built, and you’re
answering things at midnight that someone else should have caught at
9am — that’s where I come in.
What I actually do, on a normal week:
- Inbox + calendar across time zones (fluent in “when can we meet?”)
- Build the systems your team can run without you — Notion dashboards,
Airtable bases, ClickUp templates, SOPs that don’t read like homework - Coordinate travel, vendors, contractors, podcast guests, investor
follow-ups — the whole behind-the-scenes - Track deliverables, draft briefs, keep comms tight, and flag what’s
about to go sideways before it does
Tools I’m fluent in:
Notion · ClickUp · Asana · Airtable · Trello · Slack · Zoom · Loom ·
Google Workspace · Microsoft 365 · Calendly · HubSpot · Apollo · Canva ·
Buffer · Mailchimp · Zapier · Expensify · QuickBooks
A few things to know about working with me:
- I run my own life like operations. Alarm off, count to three, feet
down, cold water, then we go. If I’m structured for myself, I’ll be
structured for you. - I’m a thought partner, not a task-runner. I’d rather understand the
why than just take the brief — but I’ll take the brief if that’s
what the day calls for. - I make dark jokes when I’m nervous. The work still ships, on time,
with receipts. - I’m not afraid to start over. Biotech to AI training to ops — same
person, just sharper.
Off the clock: chicken and potatoes (every way possible), R&B
Saturdays, mood boards, and hunting for the next great African brand.
Quick to start, easy to brief, hard to surprise. If your business is
moving fast and you need someone who’ll keep up — let’s talk.
