Elise Poirier

I've enter Silicon Valley tech companies at the critical stage of early growth to create and implement effective strategies of facility and personnel expansion. My experiences providing support for a mid-size startup and a research facility of a large, global company have taken the phrase "wear many different hats" to more of a "wear entirely different costumes" place. I wouldn't have it any other way.I'm a whiz at Google Suite and Microsoft Office, and always ready to pick up another communicative platform. In addition to internally navigating sensitive discussions for Operations and HR, I have experience as a liaison between the company, third party vendors, and service providers. I'm prepared to step in as the figure of responsibility and transparency in conversation with in-house teams and external partners.I must admit, I'm a fan of a well written memo. But don't worry if professional writing can make you anxious, I'm here to help. Balancing the laser focus of digital communication with the nuanced eloquence of literary studies is my kind of fun. People said those Bachelors and Masters degrees in English were useless, ha! Over the course of my academic career, my pedagogical philosophy has evolved into a universal outlook for any helping groups grow: you tell me what needs doing, I follow through with options and alternatives, but most importantly, solutions.
