HIGHLY EXPERIENCED REMOTE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT FOR PRESTIGIOUS FAMILY OFFICE

We are delighted to be working with a prestigious and forward-thinking institutional private family office that is committed to long-term capital preservation, legacy-building, and the economic development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
