Loyal, discrete, competent, organised and important to me

Donna was my Personal Assistant from 2001 to 2013. My role for a multinational plc was one of a local senior manager combined with a global strategic director. Donna ran my diary completely, including meetings, travel, etc so that I had absolute confidence in it, knowing that she had identified the urgent, the important and thinking time for me. Donna had complete access to my email, helping me manage those demands. She often had confidential information and never compromised that confidentiality. Donna is loyal, discrete, competent, organised and important to me, she took time to understand what I was trying to achieve and how she could support those aims. I would employ her again.
