Our Administrative Assistants work hard to support our senior executives across the globe. Whether it's taking care of calendar management, compiling quarterly presentations, or connecting the dots between internal and external team members, our AAs are the ones behind the scenes crossing the T's and dotting the I's to ensure our clients have what they need.
