Every Day Is Different One moment you’re orchestrating complex travel logistics across time zones, the next you’re synthesizing research for a critical decision, then pivoting to manage crisis communications. If you love variety, strategic thinking, and making impossible things happen, you’ll thrive here.
You're the Cultural Pulse‑Checker As the eyes and ears of the CEO, you’ll have your finger on the organizational pulse.
