@josephineisaacs
I run executive operating systems that turn leadership priorities into accountable delivery.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting the COO, CFO, and senior leadership team at NALA, running operating cadence across a 136-person fintech and leading London office culture and operations for a 32-person hub.
I turn priorities into action through directorate meetings, dashboards, decision logs, cross-functional coordination, and practical systems. At NALA, I've increased in-office participation by 50%, negotiated a £75k annual rent saving, saved around £1,500 annually through digital access cards, and rebuilt 1,000+ pages of Notion documentation across seven departments.
Previously, at Alder Investment, I coordinated global board meetings, supported trust and estate administration, reduced senior leadership administration by 30%, and cut document retrieval time by 50% through a SharePoint filing system.
Across Launcelot Investments and Phoenix Community Housing, I've managed complex private-office operations, high-profile events, executive governance, transformation support, travel, household teams, and crisis logistics. I bring calm execution, strong judgement, and relentless follow-through to fast-paced environments.
