About Julie Tuttle

I’m an experienced C‑Suite Executive Assistant who partners closely with senior leaders to help them operate at their highest level. I am the quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) presence behind the executive. In today’s environment, my role goes far beyond calendar management. I focus on maximizing executive effectiveness by protecting time, anticipating priorities, and navigating complexity across people, processes, and platforms. I work as a trusted extension of leadership—filtering information, preparing for high‑stakes interactions, and ensuring follow‑through on what matters most.I bring strong business judgment, discretion, and calm under pressure, along with deep experience coordinating across executives, boards, and enterprise stakeholders. I leverage technology and AI to reduce noise and increase clarity, while relying on experience and intuition to make smart, timely decisions.Known for being proactive, reliable, and highly trusted, I thrive in fast‑paced, high‑expectation environments where precision, partnership, and professionalism matter. I also pride myself on having a strong sense of humor, along with a knack for adapting to change at a fast pace.
