The role of an EA with its in-built opportunities to interact at the highest level and contribute to the success of a business continues to excite me even after more than two decades in the profession. Dedicated and driven, with meticulous attention to detail, I make the day-to-day working lives of C-suite professionals as stress-free as possible. I have been an EA at John Laing Group since 2014. Initially, I supported the CEO, Chairman, CFO and NEDs, with my post shifting to CEO only following the sale of the business in 2021. My professional journey also includes seven years at Balfour Beatty as EA to the Deputy CEO and CFO, in addition to two years as EA to the Chairman and CFO at Invensys.
