Bureaucracy and slow decision-making are not a part of my day instead, creative thinking is always encouraged. I am responsible for the secretarial, administrative and personal support to the President, Jay Simons, the CFO, Erik Bardman, the CPO, Jeff Diana and our Chief Legal Officer, Tom Kennedy. I am self-motivated and passionate about my role. Some of my \'Devil Wears Prada\' moments include holding up a flight to ensure that critical documents made it into my boss\'s hands. Fast paced and never a dull moment. I also undertake special projects, organize events, team building and attend EA networking events in the USA. In addition to this, I manage all EA support in our San Francisco office.
