Hi, I’m Nadine! I am a virtual assistant and admin support specialist, with a background in psychology, HR, and creative business. I help small teams and business owners stay organised by handling admin tasks, inboxes, documents, Canva designs, HR templates, and providing day-to-day support. I’m reliable, easy to work with, and I take my work seriously — but I like to keep things simple and calm. Some of the things I can do: - Admin support (email, scheduling, file organisation) - HR basics (onboarding docs, staff info, templates) - Canva designs for internal docs or branded material - General VA support for solo entrepreneurs or small teams I’m also a small business owner myself (africapaws.co.za), so I understand how important it is to have someone you can count on. If you need quiet, focused support behind the scenes, I’d be happy to help.

I help founder-led service and health-tech businesses transform messy onboarding, workflows, and handoffs into streamlined systems, so growth doesn't depend on the founder remembering everything. My background is unusual for an operations specialist: I bought and grew two healthcare practices before moving into operations roles, so I have run payroll, owned a P&L, and lived the consequences of broken systems. Since then, I have built onboarding, lifecycle, and workflow systems for a UK health-tech startup (PrescribeLife.AI) — including owning its privacy and compliance documentation programme end-to-end and filing two successful UK trademark registrations directly with the IPO — coordinated privacy operations across 5 regions at Nike EMEA, and built the operational backbone of a fast-growing Canadian coaching business. What I typically deliver: onboarding and activation frameworks, SOP libraries and documentation systems, Airtable-based operational systems, cross-functional workflow design, and operating rhythms that reduce founder dependency. If your business has grown faster than its systems, that is exactly the problem I solve.

I help businesses get clear on what they stand for, who they're talking to, and how to turn that into marketing that drives conversions. My background spans two decades. From mobile and technology to building a luxury travel brand from the ground up in Dubai, where I serve high-net-worth clients across the GCC as Co-Founder and CMO. That means I've written the strategy decks and executed them. I've managed the agency briefs and been accountable for revenue. In the last 18 months alone, I've launched a tiered membership product, built a content and prospecting framework targeting ultra-high-net-worth individuals, led a pitch that placed us among 33 semifinalists selected from 500 applicants in a GCC business growth competition, and developed a proprietary marketing intelligence tool called Dahabia, designed to turn market signals into sharper strategic decisions for SMB owners and CMOs. What I bring to a project isn't a template. It's the judgment that comes from sitting at the intersection of brand, commercial strategy, and real execution pressure. I work best with founders, CMOs, and senior marketing leads who need someone who can think at the top of the problem and stay with them through the work. What I take on: + Brand strategy and positioning + Go-to-market planning + Content and campaign strategy + Marketing audits and competitive intelligence + Segmentation - Audience Audits & Target Positioning + Messaging architecture and editorial standards + Communications strategy for B2B and premium consumer brands If you're building something that needs to be taken seriously, I'd like to hear about it.

My experience as a virtual freelance worker started more than 10 years ago. Each new project allows me to learn new skills to take forward and apply to new projects, as each client is unique in their way of working and what they require. Extensive experience in all things administrative, from internet research, data entry, word processing, project management, and marketing. Other than a four year BA degree in Communications, I completed a course in project management with University of Cape Town. Have expert knowledge of all Office programs, and have WordPress experience.

I help founders and early-stage teams turn chaos into structured execution across operations, hiring, compliance, and internal systems. I operate as a Chief of Staff–style partner, meaning I sit close to leadership and take ownership of making sure things actually get done, not just planned. Most of my work involves stepping into fast-moving environments where priorities change often, clarity is limited, and execution speed matters more than hierarchy. What I typically handle: - Building and running end-to-end hiring systems (technical + commercial roles) - Managing recruitment pipelines from sourcing through to final interviews and offers - Leading operational projects that require structure, tracking, and cross-team coordination - Coordinating leadership priorities across multiple workstreams - Managing compliance processes (including large-scale rollout projects across 700+ people) - Handling legal coordination and structured documentation workflows - Improving internal systems, processes, and operational efficiency - Acting as the central execution point between founders, finance, and operations I work best when: - There is ambiguity that needs structure - Things are moving fast and need coordination - Founders need someone to “own the how” - Multiple priorities need to be executed in parallel I tend to step into problems, structure them quickly, and ensure they move to completion without constant follow-up. Key Strengths - Founder & Executive Support - Operations Design & Execution - Recruitment & Hiring Systems - Process Improvement & Workflow Design - Compliance & Large-Scale Coordination - Cross-functional Project Management - Remote Team Coordination - Legal & Contract Workflow Management - Systems Organization & Operational Cleanup
