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.

Outsourced digital services

Over the past two decades, I’ve built a career rooted in helping businesses grow by solving their  operational, digital and lead-generation challenges. 

My journey began with 2BInteractive, a full-service digital agency I co-founded in 2006. In 2012, I established our first offshore team in the Philippines - a pivotal move that significantly enhanced our delivery capabilities and shaped my long-term belief in the power of offshoring. Recognising the challenges agencies face in scaling their digital capacity, I rebranded the business in 2017 as Sonnet - a white-label provider specialising in premium web development and digital marketing solutions. Today, Sonnet partners with agencies across North America and ANZ, helping them scale efficiently and deliver exceptional results. My primary focus remains business development, supported by a highly capable offshore team that manages day-to-day operations.

In 2022, I co-founded Parallel, who helps small to medium businesses unlock the benefits of offshoring by setting up tailored teams in the Philippines. Inspired by the transformative potential of offshore teams, my focus at Parallel is on scaling the business, building client relationships, and establishing it as a trusted partner for companies navigating the complexities of offshoring.  

In 2019, I formalised my expertise in lead generation through Many Hands, an online course that teaches professionals how to identify, engage, and nurture prospects using LinkedIn. Many Hands distills the strategies I’ve used to grow my businesses into a simple, repeatable process anyone can use to generate leads.  

With a current focus divided between Parallel, Sonnet and Many Hands, I thrive on building strong teams, fostering innovation, and helping other businesses achieve their goals.

Founder

In 2019, after the success of growing Sonnet primarily on the back of LinkedIn, I formalised the process and started another company, Many Hands Connections. 

Many Hands uses a proven process to identify and nurture prospects in your target audience.
