Hello! I’m Lisse — Your Strategic Right Hand for Growth, Operations, and Executive Support
I’m Ma. Melissa Angelica C. De Vera, but you can call me Lisse—a results-driven Executive Assistant, Business Growth Strategist, and Legal & Operations Professional with a strong background in leadership, communications, and public service. I bring together strategy, structure, and heart to help leaders and organizations grow with clarity and impact.
I’ve worked closely with CEOs, founders, and senior executives across the Philippines and the United States, supporting businesses in executive operations, legal compliance, growth strategy, and high-level administration. From managing complex calendars and sensitive correspondence to driving market expansion and coordinating cross-functional teams, I thrive in fast-paced, high-responsibility environments where trust, precision, and initiative matter most.
Currently, I serve as Director of Business Growth and Executive Assistant to the CEO of a U.S.-based digital brand, where I help shape long-term growth strategies, analyze market trends, build partnerships, and align sales, marketing, and operations toward measurable results. I also bring extensive experience as an Executive Director and Legal Department Officer, handling contracts, compliance, regulatory coordination, and policy management—always with discretion and attention to detail.
What sets me apart is my rare blend of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. I’m just as comfortable building dashboards, managing KPIs, and drafting proposals as I am handling executive inboxes, preparing reports, coordinating stakeholders, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Academically, I’m a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of the Philippines Diliman with a degree in English Studies, which means you get someone who communicates clearly, writes impeccably, and understands nuance—an invaluable asset in remote work.
Beyond corporate roles, my background in government service, leadership, advocacy, and communications has shaped me into a professional who is proactive, ethical, and deeply committed to excellence. I don’t just complete tasks—I anticipate needs, solve problems, and add value.
If you’re looking for someone who can be your trusted partner in growth, organization, and execution, I’d love to help your business move forward.
Let’s build something impactful—together.
