Pat Zappavigna’s Summary

Before starting Instant Office Assistant, I worked for over 15 years supporting executive professionals in two Fortune 500 companies. I assisted these individuals in areas too numerous to mention, but chief among them were general administrative, sales and marketing, human resources, office management, database creation / management and budgeting. A strange thing happened while I was teaching those around me the proper way to get things done: I learned how to make sure that every “I” was dotted and every “T” crossed. I also learned that every piece of the puzzle is important, and I love solving puzzles.

I love it so much that I decided to start Instant Office Assistant to help small and medium size companies solve puzzles in their business, sometimes puzzles they don’t even know exist. I will help to identify, and then fit together, the pieces of your puzzle.
