Executive Assistant-HOA & Board Support

LAURIE SCRIVO

Venice, FL ***** ************@*****.*** 941-***-****

Executive Assistant to the C-Suite Board Support & Business Operations SUMMARY

I've spent 20+ years as the person CEOs trust with everything. At Diageo, I supported the North America CEO straight through his promotion to Global CEO. Since then, I've worked inside private equity firms and PE-backed companies, building board decks and running board meetings alongside sponsors including Blackstone. I manage the calendar, the travel, the investors, and the private details with complete discretion. And when something's missing, I build it: an office opened from nothing, a company operating system up and running in two days, a corporate card program for 3,000+ employees kept airtight.
