Alani Mar

Executive admin whiz with a 10+ year track record of success at tech start-up, biotech, and luxury hospitality companies. During the turbulence of Covid times, I became the go-to person for revamping workflows, creating positive team communities, and solving hybrid-work challenges. I work my magic on complex, nail-biting projects and snazzy high-stakes events to help companies achieve their ever-expanding ambitions. *** Career Highlights • Produced 500+ splashy affairs in my career, some for hundreds of attendees like The BayLearn Symposium, often planning multiple events at once: high-stakes fundraisers, slick product introductions, corporate conferences, rollicking employee celebrations, and team-building adventures. • Devised tactics to ensure biotech company Genentech’s return-to-work plan stuck, resulting in 40 percent of the team voluntarily returning to campus after Covid. • Managed 1,000+ client accounts as a virtual assistant at the AI start-up Fin. Earned a near perfect score (99–100%) in client satisfaction, and ranked #1 in quality, accountability, and task closing. • Commended for devising a faster, efficient calendaring system for scheduling complex interviews and cross-functional team meetings, promoting productivity and reducing email back-and-forth by >20 percent. • Supported 3 Genentech executives and their teams of 100 managers and staff in a fast-moving technical community. Worked nonstop across 6 time zones and 10 departments, solving problems for a diverse group of professionals.
