Case Study: KOMPAS VC Elevates Operations with Exceptional Executive Assistant
KOMPAS VC hired Marette as an Executive Assistant in June 2023 to support their growing venture capital operations. Her exceptional performance and proactive approach quickly established her as an integral part of the team's daily operations.
Marette's impact extended far beyond traditional EA responsibilities. Her outstanding performance earned her multiple salary increases and additional responsibilities, including complex event planning and strategic support duties. The company's confidence in her abilities was demonstrated when they flew her to Europe to attend important meetings, recognising her as essential to key business operations.
Her performance review highlights her as a "Top Talent" with exceptional organisational skills, proactive problem-solving abilities, and professional growth. Marette successfully managed partner calendar coordination, led major event planning initiatives including team retreats, and provided crucial support during her manager's maternity leave. Her adaptability and initiative have made her indispensable to the team's success.
Client Testimonial: "The EA we hired is an integral part of our daily operations... her impact on company output is remarkable." - Meg George, KOMPAS VC
