I'm offering
What sets me apart is that I spent only 48 hours out of contact in 11 years working as the right hand to a CEO of a large multimillion conglomerate.

There is no need to search for another assistant or help. This is because my last position the company was a conglomerate from hospitality, to trading, to construction to building what now is one of the worlds largest social media platforms.
