Kay Ahmed steps into a new role as Operations Manager

July 2021

With great attention to detail, with efficiency and care, and with consistent appreciation for doing things well, Kay Ahmed manages a million behind-the-scenes details that help to ensure the effectiveness of The BTS Center’s programs and day-to-day operations.

Kay joined The BTS Center team in January 2018 as an Administrative Assistant, and eventually transitioned to the role of Office Manager. Over the past two years, as our programs and staff have grown and the pace and scope of our work have intensified — even in the midst of a pandemic! — we’ve all come to rely on Kay’s strong administrative and organizational skills, her flexibility and persistence, and her collaborative spirit.

Effective July 1, Kay serves as The BTS Center’s Operations Manager, working closely with our staff team to manage day-to-day operations and implement effective processes and practices throughout the organization.

Originally from England, Kay attended Westminster Business School through an apprenticeship and holds a Financial Investment and Securities Degree. She worked in finance and administration in Greater London for 12 years and then in executive administration in several Maine organizations before joining The BTS Center. Kay lives in Portland with her husband and their two young daughters.
