Teddy Panyako
Nairobi, Kenya — open to remote work

Executive support that runs quietly and never drops the ball.

Six years keeping founders and C-level executives on schedule, on budget, and on top of 25+ vendor relationships — across three time zones, without anyone noticing the machinery underneath.

About

01

Tech-enabled Executive & Virtual Assistant with 6+ years of direct founder and C-level support, blended with strong client- and vendor-facing communication. I turn founder priorities into completed work — independent task execution, research synthesis, and relationship management — while acting as the primary point of contact for 25+ external vendors and service providers, holding a same-day response standard.

Fluent in modern remote-work and AI tools (Google Workspace, Claude, ChatGPT, ClickUp) to work faster without sacrificing accuracy, discretion, or client experience. Currently building out customer support and help desk credentials to round out a hybrid administrative/support skill set for distributed teams.

  • Works independently and learns unfamiliar business processes quickly
  • Synthesizes complex information into concise, actionable recommendations
  • Handles client and vendor issue resolution with steady relationship management
  • Exceptional attention to detail with consistent follow-through
  • Trusted with confidential business information and sound judgment
  • Verifies AI-assisted outputs independently — facts, calculations, drafts
