What is a Executive Secretary?
An Executive Secretary is a senior administrative professional who provides comprehensive support to C-level executives, such as CEOs, presidents, or other top-tier management. This role requires exceptional organizational skills, discretion, and the ability to handle sensitive information. Unlike general administrative assistants, Executive Secretaries often manage complex projects, coordinate high-level meetings, and serve as gatekeepers for executive time and priorities. They typically possess advanced technical skills and extensive experience in corporate environments.
What does a Executive Secretary do?

Additional responsibilities include preparing reports and presentations, managing databases, coordinating board meetings, and overseeing special projects.
