Teresa Corre
PA to CEO
Biography
Description of Role and Responsibilities:
In my capacity as PA I am responsible for making sure that the CEO's diary and appointments are up to date and that he has all the relevant papers for his meetings. I also take the minutes at the Director's and Board meetings and chase the outstanding actions.
I am the first point of call for the international chapters of itSMF and I try to resolve any queries they have. I also arrange meetings for the International board which involves booking meeting rooms, arranging travel, accommodation, catering and distributing meeting papers.
As Facilities Manager it is my job to maintain the office building which includes making sure that all health & safety guidelines are followed and fire appliances are regularly tested. I even do the company shopping for tea & coffee supplies!
Average Day:
I usually start work at 7.45am, deal with my emails first then look at the CEO's and answer any I can. Next it's looking at the day's meetings and what is required for each. After that it's anything that comes my way; I tend to look after everything that doesn't fit into anyone else's job description like un-blocking sinks!
What do you enjoy most?
The job is very varied and every day is different, but I really enjoy meeting the members at the UK conference and exhibition every November.
