EA support for Q5's Managing Partner, Olly Purnell & John Okten

EA support to Q5's Managing Partner & 2 partners. Testimonial from John Okten:"I couldn't ask for any better support than what Vicki provides. She is always one (or several) steps ahead, knowing what and who I need to be thinking about before I do. Once Vicki is on a task I know that I don't need to think about it again - a huge weight off my "mental load". Nothing is too big or too small - from the most senior interactions to the smallest practical tasks. Leaving me the time & head… Show more EA support to Q5's Managing Partner & 2 partners. Testimonial from John Okten:"I couldn't ask for any better support than what Vicki provides. She is always one (or several) steps ahead, knowing what and who I need to be thinking about before I do. Once Vicki is on a task I know that I don't need to think about it again - a huge weight off my "mental load". Nothing is too big or too small - from the most senior interactions to the smallest practical tasks. Leaving me the time & head space required to concentrate solely on my clients, projects and teams. To top it all, she is absolute delight to work with! No matter what is going on, or how challenging, or stressful things are, she always remains totally positive, and a quick check-in always lifts my spirits. I don't know what I'd do without her!We've worked together since August 2018 when she stepped in to provide support to myself and a couple of other Q5 partners, quickly showing that she was super efficient and knew exactly what she was doing - but also settling into a cemented business culture at distance with absolute ease."Testimonial from Jen Gramolt:“Vicki brings intelligence, energy and proactivity to her VA role. She has great attention to detail and ‘thinks around the corner’ to ensure that schedules and stakeholders are efficiently managed. Her magic is combining this core VA skill set with a great sense of humour and a real care for the wellbeing of the clients she looks after.”Testimonial from Olly Purnell, Managing Partner at Q5:"When it came to replacing my right-hand air-traffic controller of some 9 years, I decided to try out a 'virtual EA.' For the last 20 months, Vicki has been the most amazing EA. She's based in Bordeaux; I am based in London ... but this has never caused any problems. Vicki looks after all my client-meeting scheduling (with diligence), deals with phone calls (with aplomb), and manages my global travel (with efficiency and attention to costs)." Show less
