* Calendar & Schedule Ownership:Manage complex client and internal scheduling, resolve calendar conflicts, protect focus time, and coordinate travel logistics.

3. Client Lifecycle & Portfolio Operations
* Seamless Onboarding:Set up client workspaces, files, contacts, meeting cadences, project plans, and communication norms so engagements start cleanly.
* Active Portfolio View:Maintain a single, reliable view of priorities, deliverables, owners, timelines, risks, and consulting capacity across all clients.
