About

I’m a strategic Executive Assistant and Operations professional with 20 years’ experience supporting C-suite leaders across high-growth tech and regulated industries. At Paddle, I operate within the CEO’s Office, partnering closely with the CEO, President, and CFO to optimise executive effectiveness, streamline operations, and enable focus on the company’s highest priorities. My background spans executive operations, governance, communications, and stakeholder management, with a track record of delivering impact - from simplifying board processes and driving company-wide communications, to managing multi-million-pound budgets and high-profile global events. Alongside executive support, I lead operational cadences, strategic initiatives, and cross-functional coordination across the business, helping leadership teams scale effectively in fast-paced environments. I hold an LLB (Hons) in Law and a CIPD Level 3 certification in People Practice, combining analytical rigour with strong commercial and people acumen. I thrive in scaling organisations where I can combine precision, strategic thinking, and operational excellence to help executives and businesses achieve ambitious growth goals.
