Calendaring & Coordination: Scheduling internal and external meetings and calls as well as personal appointments. Interacting with CEO's family, and household staff to coordinate household alongside CEO; coordinating professional and family calendars.
Other Duties as Assigned: This is a "no job is too big or small" type of role, and requires someone "on the team" willing to do whatever is needed to support the CEO.
