Chantal Vansantvoet

Caretaker at heart - Management Assistant

Kampenhout, Flemish Region, Belgium

About

My leitmotif : learn, grow, excel, care for others, be a pillar of strength. I'm a multilingual professional, readily tapping into significant experience acquired as E.A., P.A. and M.A. to senior executives in various industries. I can also draw on skills and expertise acquired in Office Management roles (supplier benchmarking, office search, office moves, etc.); equally an integral part of my professional backpack. My aim? Add value by enhancing an executive's productivity, elevating his/her performance and functioning as an indispensable business partner and 'right arm". Committed, trustworthy, methodical, pro-active and resourceful I easily interact with people. By nature more a listener; attentive to well being of team members, whilst seeking ways to get the job done, spotting where to go for solutions. With pizzazz and eye for detail, I organise meetings/events (incl. notetaking and translation into accurate minutes). "learning = growing"! I pick up things rapidly and love to broaden my horizons.
