I manage business social media accounts, reply to comments and messages, update spreadsheets by state and region, review incoming resumes, and help with the first screening of candidates. I also research industry conferences and the companies attending them. I review exhibitors and participants, check what they do, and identify potential partners based on how well they match our business needs. I manage a small company warehouse as well. I receive items from vendors, organize inventory, track requests, prepare and ship packages to different states, and keep shipping and inventory spreadsheets updated.

My work included supporting senior management, working with boards of directors and shareholders, handling contracts and corporate matters, managing claims and litigation, participating in negotiations, and overseeing licensing, certifications, patents, trademarks, and copyright matters. I also helped build long-term business relationships with international partners and worked across different departments and business functions.
