Vee
has spent over 20 years assisting senior
management in the corporate sector as
well as small businesses as a PA. Within
her last role, which spanned 10 years
she embraced the changes that the
multi-national company faced by ably
assisting her bosses in conforming to
all the legalities of running a listed
stock exchange company to de-listing and
becoming an MBO, and then finally,
through to Exit and being the last to
help “switch off the light”. Along the
way she’s absorbed every opportunity to
build up a strong understanding of
business and armoury of skills including
website design, database
creation/management, project management,
equipment specifying/purchasing, as well
as the usual PA skills of managing the
bosses time, making him look good to his
peers by ensuring everything ran
smoothly in the background and having
all documentation looking good and
produced in good time.
Vee runs
her own virtual assistance business,
My Super VA, which provides business
administration services to small
businesses and entrepreneurs. Vee joined
Athena mid-2006 to assist with the
smooth background administration of The
Athena Network. Using all the skills and
insights that Vee has gained throughout
her career and driven by a desire to
make things easier, she has helped
streamline many Athena processes leaving
Louise and Jacqueline more time to be
creative.
With the
franchise side of Athena taking off, Vee
soon realised that there was not enough
of her to go round and has built up a
team that she has trained in The Athena
Way who assist the Athena Franchisees
with their Athena admin and
telemarketing. As Vee has had a pivotal
role in developing many of the Athena
systems, she is well placed to provide
her team with all the back-up and
training they need to provide an
efficient and comprehensive admin and
telemarketing service.
“I feel
privileged to be a part of the
phenomenal growth of Athena, and
absolutely thrive on making things easy
for myself and my clients. My vision is
a team of “Vee-clones” helping other
entrepreneurs and business owners to
work effectively and create more time to
do the things they do well by taking
care of their admin.”
