ID 163

Mature, fast-paced, and unafraid of chaos. Demonstrates clear ownership mindset, knows how to shield the principal, and builds trust quickly. Operates comfortably in 24/7 environments and has led both direct reports and support staff. Keeps distance, maintains discretion, and doesn't require external validation.

Previous company (Nov 2024 - 2025, under 1 year): left due to ethical concerns after the employer was linked to fraud.

Previous company (Feb 2021 - Nov 2024, 3 yrs 9 mos): acted as Senior PA and CoS, decided to leave due to emotional exhaustion after 3+ years of working on the intense topic.

Other roles (2019 – 2021): fixed-term and project-based roles post-pandemic.

The candidate is motivated by being closely connected to the principal and taking full ownership rather than working through layers. After navigating complex dynamics with UHNWF and government officials, she values trust, clarity, and long-term commitment. She is looking for a principled, high-functioning team. Her decision to leave her last role was driven by a toxic environment and ethical concerns - she's now seeking a culture rooted in transparency, integrity, and mutual respect.

• High emotional resilience - accustomed to working in high-stakes, emotionally charged environments. Stays calm under pressure, maintains professional distance, and makes clear-headed decisions.
• Exceptional handling of complex, high-stakes tasks - routinely manages politically sensitive and logistically demanding assignments - including coordinating a formal audience with the Pope, involving cross-border protocol, and multi-party stakeholder management. Comfortable operating at the intersection of diplomacy, logistics, and discretion.
• Executive presence & trust - trusted to represent CEOs and founders in meetings with senior stakeholders - including UN, UK Government, and investors. Earns confidence quickly and acts as a reliable extension of leadership.
• Hands-on leadership - has led small teams of EAs and broader support staff (drivers, nannies, household personnel). Doesn't manage from a distance - coaches, trains, and sets standards herself.
• 24/7 mindset with operational stamina - comfortable with unpredictable hours, last-minute travel, and sudden shifts in priorities. Has previously worked in roles requiring constant availability and rapid task switching.
• Values-aligned decision making - walked away from a prestigious, high-paying role when ethical concerns arose, strong internal compass and prioritisation of integrity over convenience.
• Clear communicator & diplomatic operator - combines clarity and warmth in communication. Able to handle sensitive, high-level discussions discreetly, with emotional intelligence and cultural awareness.

• Short tenure at previous company — there was fraud allegations for the company, candidate refused to continue working for the principal's family due to reputational risks, the reason for leaving is legitimate and proactively addressed. She never worked for individuals under international sanctions and have always passed the UK advanced security clearance.
• Salary expectations slightly above role benchmark — voiced £120k as ideal, but flexible depending on context and values alignment.
• Best scenario - working first few months remotely with unlimited business trips and relocating after probation period, but candidate is open for discussion.
