Founder & CEO at The Virtual Hub | Speaker | Podcast Host 🎙| Operational Efficiency Enthusiast 💥| Passionately helping businesses remove bottlenecks & scale 🚀

A 'Mum first' entrepreneur who has bootstrapped and scaled a 350 employee, digital first support assistant company with clients spanning the globe, all while attending toddler ballet, kids ski club, playdates and living between the mountains of Europe and the beaches of Australia.

The usual question I get asked is 'how the hell did you do that?' 

To which my usual reply is ......

'By focussing on building great systems, nailing process delegation and leveraging cost effective teams of support assistants in The Philippines.'

Platforms. Processes. People. 

Everyday I see great companies full of great people who are roadblocked by the vortex of busywork. From small businesses with 5 people to large organisations with 500 people the story is the same. Great people bogged down by necessary but inefficient and time consuming busywork. 

By identifying the 20-50% of most peoples day that is taken up by admin and/or process driven tasks any business can strategically optimise their human capital budgets by delegating to a team of offshore virtual assistants. 

From e-commerce and SAAS to coaching and service businesses, we help unlock business growth by freeing great people from the time-suck of busywork.

At The Virtual Hub, we provide fully managed, in-house trained and dedicated virtual assistants starting at $750 USD per month.

By integrating great support assistants inside your business we act like a 'bolt on' scaling partner to your growth plans.

I'm not a LinkedIn guru.

I don't promise viral posts or overnight fame.

I'm just a founder like you who figured out how to use LinkedIn for actual business results.

It all started...

2021: Everything was falling apart.
Post-dropout. Can't focus. Crying at night.
Tried my first then second but fall badly

2024: Personal Branding hit me 
I saw some of my peers were crushing but I was struggling
Reason? They have personal brand

2025:
→ Top 4% LinkedIn creator worldwide
→ Created the BrandMarkit system
→ Helping founders get real results

The difference?

Then I was chasing
Now I'm attracting

And that's what I do for Founders & CEOs

Most LinkedIn advice fails because they either focus on lead or vanity metrics

The truth: You need BOTH.

→ Engagement builds your authority
→ Leads build your business
→ Together, they build your empire

How "Be A Name" works:

Instead of fake engagement → real relationships
Instead of random content → strategic posts
Instead of hoping for leads → systematic outreach

The outcome: 20+ discovery calls per month + growing authority

Perfect for founders who:

→ Want predictable lead flow
→ Are ready to be the face of their company
→ Don't want to choose between likes OR leads
→ Are tired of LinkedIn advice that doesn't work
→ Want to save 4-5 hours every day spent on linkedin


Ready to scale? Plans start from $597/month.
Choose what fits best for your needs.

P.S. I only work with 3 new and serious founders each month.

3 ways founders can use curiosity in LinkedIn posts to make their ICPs read till the end...

First, understand that Curiosity is the backbone of writing, that's why:

- You keep clicking "one more" YouTube video even when you're tired.
- You read tweets that start with "I wasn't going to share this but…"
- You open WhatsApp messages the moment you see the typing .

We all have fallen for this 😅 but now the question is: how can we make others fall for our posts?

(#3 is the one almost no founder/LinkedIn creator uses.)

1. Plant curiosity seeds:

- End each paragraph and segment of your post with tiny hooks.
- Ex: "Then came the twist…" "that's why…" (I used in the 2nd line)
- This teases people about what's coming and makes them curious.

2. Tease the payoff early

- Mention the outcome, not the answer.
- Just like I did with "#3 is the one almost no founder/LinkedIn creator uses."
- Now you're curious to scroll to check out the 3rd point.

3. Make your graphic incomplete on purpose

- Show the "after" but hide the "how."
- Ex: Post a screenshot of your DMs flooding in. Blur out what you actually sent them. Caption: "Here's the exact message..."

Bonus: Use curiosity in your rehook to make readers click "see more"

Ex: "I almost quit LinkedIn last week. Then this happened…"

Now they can't skip your post because they need to close the loop you've opened.


Curious graphic → they stopped scrolling
Curious hook → they clicked "see more"
Curiosity seeds → they read line by line
Payoff tease → they scrolled to find it

I used this exact system on you.

Now use it on your ICP.
