About

There is a version of your business where things just work. Your inbox is under control. Your calendar reflects real priorities. Your operations are structured, and nothing important gets missed. That version does not happen by accident. It happens when the right person is behind the scenes. I am Chinenye, a freelance Executive Assistant and Operations Manager working remotely with startup founders, CEOs, and COOs who need more than someone to manage their calendar. They need someone who can look at how their business actually runs and make it better. I have managed construction projects exceeding ₦100M across multiple vendors and workstreams. I coordinated a sold-out 450-person R&B event with three weeks' notice and no existing momentum. I built a 24/7 AI voice receptionist for a US-based dental clinic using ElevenLabs and n8n that now handles every patient call, updates the CRM, and books appointments without a human involved. I am a proactive individual; I do not wait to be told what to fix. I find it and fix it. I work with tools like Notion, Asana, Jira, Zapier, n8n, and Google Workspace; these tools are secondary. I bring the ability to see where your operation is breaking and build something that holds. If your business is growing faster than your systems can keep up with, that is exactly the problem I solve. πŸ“… Book a free discovery call with me: calendly.com/chyifed
