Oluchi Ajala

My name is Oluchi Ajala, a graduate of the Economics department in the University of Lagos. I am excited to be applying for the Senior Executive Assistant position.  I am positive that I am right for this job as I understand the nuances of managing an executive, proactively tackling issues and ensuring strategic and optimal use of the executive’s time.

In my current role at Spacefinish Africa, I serve as the Executive Coordinator to the Founder. I have honed my office management, time management, reporting and scheduling abilities. I have proven my ability to effectively manage logistics coordination, vendors and as well as my ability to work in a very fast paced environment while delivering diligently. I have also proven my ability to optimize my executive's time and track properly to ensure he focuses on the relevant things, which ensures that he is making good progress. In my previous role, I served as the Executive Assistant to the Principal Partner at AD Consulting where I also doubled as the office manager ensuring the smooth and optimal operation of the office. 

Before that, I served as the Personal assistant to the Executive Director Secretary General. A position I was nominated to fill by the management team, moving from the compliance department where I worked as Graduate Compliance Intern. I was exposed to a multicultural environment and this has proven my adaptability skills as I adapted well and fast. I gained extensive knowledge in office management and organization, reporting, effective filing, documentation, communication and managing sensitive and highly confidential processes. I want to be able to offer top notch value to the executives and teams I support so I am constantly developing myself so I can offer the best value. I have recently embarked on a journey to gain a Business Analysis and Project Management certification and to become a member of the Nigerian Institute of Management.

From my years of experience in supporting managers, executives and teams I understand the importance of being proactive in addition to being an expert at scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, and managing travel and logistics arrangements. I have also developed the ability to anticipate roadblocks and create effective alternative plans.
