• Prepare, proofread and format board papers, investor updates, presentations and correspondence, working closely with finance, business development and technical teams.
• Act as the first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders investors, government/free-zone partners, technology providers and portfolio-company leadership managing communications with discretion and professionalism.
• Organise and minute leadership, board and partner meetings; track action items and follow up on deliverables to closure.

Qualifications & Key Skills
