About Nika Bharadia:
I am an experienced Personal Assistant with a track record of providing progressive, discrete, and confidential high-level operational and support services and with proven expertise in the entertainment and UHNW sectors.
I am a resourceful and conscientious self-starter with an industrious work ethic targeted at delivering results-driven assistance. I pride myself on being an organised client-centric and commercially-astute problem-solver with a keen eye for detail and with the experience and ability to deliver optimal solutions within highly-pressurised timescales, used to taking the initiative to tackle complex problems and to working autonomously as well as within a collaborative team framework.
I possess excellent personal and team organisation, negotiation and multi-tasking skills in complex and demanding scenarios and an unparalleled ability to communicate at all levels to understand individuals’ needs and objectives and manage their expectations.
