PepsiCoCompliance, Events and Communications Administrator
Feb. 2011 - Jan. 2013DubaiI assisted across the Compliance, HR, and Communications departments, typically splitting my time 50:25:25. I managed the logistics and entertainment for PepsiCo International’s annual gala event (Asia, Middle East, and Africa sector), along with other smaller, ad hoc events for the Human Resources department. I supported the Communications department with website management and various ad hoc requests. Additionally, I served as Administrator to the Vice President of Compliance and other top management on an ad hoc basis. This included extensive calendar management, handling visa requirements, preparing PowerPoint presentations, drafting correspondence, and setting up complex multi-national meetings and teleconferences. I also managed travel, expenses, and personnel relocation. Beyond that, I oversaw CSI initiatives for the Vice President of Compliance, acting as the key liaison between beneficiaries and internal Procurement and Marketing teams, while also managing budgets and payment processes. I also volunteered internally to assist newcomers, providing technical support with IT setup, communication systems, and distribution lists. My goal was to create a welcoming environment, ensuring social inclusion and a smooth transition into their new roles.
