ASHTON FURNITURE CONSOLIDATION

JOB SUMMARY

The Executive Assistant provides bilingual English/Vietnamese communication support and coordinates operational reporting, meeting/action documentation, and selected cross-functional projects for the Operations Director.

Routine calendar, travel, driver, and meeting-room coordination remain supporting responsibilities rather than the primary focus of the position.
