Bio
Gautam Narasimhan
Headline: Keeps things running with a smile on her face Susan has that rare quality of being able to combine being extremely effective with being remarkably pleasant to work with. I knew Susan when she was the executive assistant to the Vice President I reported to at Malcolm Pirnie (now part of Arcadis). Susan had an amazing ability to keep his schedule on track, step in to help others to make sure that the office was functioning seamlessly, and to be able to do all this with a smile on her face. Her ability to keep calm during pressure, organizational skills, and ability to gain the trust of both senior and juniors staff would make her an asset to any organization.
Terry Haelen
I would highly recommend Susan as an executive assissant. She has excellant communications and administrative skills, is well organized, proactive in getting things done, a team player, very professional with high ethical standards, and client focused.
