About Stephanie Ruiz

Hi There! My name is Stephanie Ruiz and I am an Executive Assistant & Business Support Lead located here in the Antelope Valley with 10 years of experience supporting senior executives and helping build high-performing teams across aerospace and nonprofit organizations. At Virgin Galactic, I’ve grown from Business Support Specialist to Executive Assistant to my current Lead role — where I partner directly with SVPs and VPs to deliver seamless executive support, drive team alignment, and strengthen operations.I’m dependable, highly organized, and resilient under pressure — the person who can take abstract requests and turn them into actionable outcomes. Leaders trust for me to close critical actions, coordinate complex schedules and events, and provide steady guidance through organizational change.Beyond daily executive support, I invest in people. I mentor and coach other admins, help streamline processes, and create a culture where teams feel heard and supported. In 2025, I completed a professional development 6-month Leadership program along with mentoring with senior leaders, further sharpening my skills in conflict management, coaching, and cross-functional collaboration.I thrive where precision and people meet — making leadership more effective, teams more connected, and operations more seamless.
