About Emanuela Tundrea

Strategic Executive Business Partner with 15+ years of C-Suite experience and 11+ years of scaling alongside a single leader from VP to CEO. Promoted from Executive Assistant to Executive Business Partner to the CEO, I operate with the rigor of a CoS delivering high-impact business results through operational excellence, stakeholder management, and people leadership.I specialize in optimizing executive operations and enabling leadership effectiveness at scale — designing the CEO’s 3-prong support model (board & meeting governance, external engagement, internal leadership events), enhancing workflow mechanisms (resulting in 20% improvement in scheduling efficiency), directing high-stakes global travel strategy (with 170+ global site visits to date), advising on CEO-level engagements, and driving cross-functional strategic initiatives.Trusted advisor and liaison across departments, I manage high-level relationships and sensitive communications with key stakeholders, including executive leaders, dignitaries, and public policy figures. I also serve as a leader to 900+ administrative professionals, having authored org-wide operational guidance and job scoping work to align to EA career pathing goals. Passionate about elevating the EA profession, I conceptualized the EA Job Growth Pyramid, supported the revamp of Amazon’s EA Role Guideline, spearheaded the Executive Assistant Career Planning (EACP) program, created and led enterprise-wide trainings, launched a biennial EA Leadership Summit, and serve as Executive Sponsor of Amazon’s Professional Administrative Network (PAN). I bring a mix of discretion, influence, and operational rigor — and thrive in environments that blend execution with long-term strategy and people development. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new destinations with my husband and two daughters, planning creative themed birthday parties, diving into a good book, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
