About Maria

I ensure your daily business runs smoothly – even when you're at your limit.

Not by ticking off to-dos, but with structure, responsibility, and a clear focus on priorities.

I work as aRemote Executive Assistant & Operations Partnerfor founders, management teams, and growing companies that realize operational details are suddenly consuming their time, energy, and focus.

With **15+ years of experience in Operations, HR, and Hospitality Management**, I know environments where organization isn't a nice-to-have, but a prerequisite for quality, revenue, and functioning teams. I have coordinated international teams, made decisions under pressure, and managed processes that couldn't be left unfinished.

What I take on – clearly and reliably:
– Executive & Office Management (Inbox, Calendar, Coordination, Processes)
– HR & Recruiting Support (Pre-selection, Interviews, Onboarding)
– Customer and Partner Communication (DE/EN, professional & service-oriented)
– Research, Travel Planning, Reporting & Operational Special Projects

How I work:
Independently. Proactively. Asynchronously.
After clear goal and role clarification, I take responsibility – without micromanagement, without daily coordination loops.

Why I'm not a classic VA:
I think in processes, not tasks.
I identify bottlenecks before they escalate.
And I bring a service and quality mentality that you can't learn from online courses.

I am particularly well-suited for companies inservices, IT, construction, hospitality, or international setups– anywhere where clarity and reliability are crucial.

I am not suitable for:
– Projects without room for decision-making
– Chaotic briefings without a clear goal
– On-call collaboration

In short:
If you're looking for operational peace, clear structures, and real relief, let's talk.
If you just want 'a helping hand': probably not.
