Jennie Smith
PROJECT MANAGEMENT + VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

Traits: Seeing between the lines is a trait that has set me apart. By intuitively understanding team dynamics, business dynamics, cultural context, and differing leadership styles, I have provided insight and advice for the leaders I support. I am a careful listener and an adaptable communicator. I have a sense of curiosity and empathy that helps me connect and collab rate with colleagues. I ask questions, listen actively and am open about what I don't know.

Work background: With 20 years of experience as an executive assistant, I've supported high-performing leaders across various industries, including retail, manufacturing, and healthcare, from Fortune 500 corporations to small privately held businesses. My organizational skills focus on simplifying workflows for my executives and their teams, making their workdays run smoothly. Anticipating needs accurately brings me satisfaction.

Hobbies: I find calm and adventure in outdoor activities. I enjoy being outdoors on the North Shore of Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters Wilderness Canoe Area. I indulge in all things Star Wars and am always ready for a game of Cribbage. My gardening skills are modest, but the act itself brings me joy, especially when enjoying the fresh veggies at our table and sharing with others. I am a dog lover and am grateful for the time I spend with my three pups. An executive I worked with described me as “loyal and fun,” which may sound like she is describing one of my dogs, but I’ll take it!
