I assisted the managing director with a variety of tasks, demonstrating my ability to handle both administrative and strategic responsibilities. One of my primary duties was call screening, where I ensured that all communications were prioritized and managed efficiently, allowing the managing director to focus on high-priority tasks. Additionally, I minuted both internal and external client meetings, meticulously recording key points, decisions, and action items to ensure clear follow-up and accountability.
I also had the opportunity to attend a meeting with potential business partners to assess the feasibility of a joint venture targeting adhesive sales in Europe. During this meeting, I provided support by taking detailed notes, analyzing the discussions, and contributing insights that helped in evaluating the potential benefits and risks associated with the venture.
Furthermore, I conducted extensive research on international business practices, which was crucial for the strategic planning of the joint venture. This research included understanding regulatory requirements, market entry strategies, and competitive analysis in the European adhesive market. My involvement in these activities not only supported the managing director in making informed decisions but also enhanced my knowledge and skills in international business operations and strategic planning.
