Helping founders build businesses that run smoothly without having to do everything themselves.
Growing a business is exciting, but as your business evolves, so do the challenges. Keeping operations organised, projects moving and priorities clear becomes increasingly important as you grow.
​
I work alongside founders as a trusted extension of their business, bringing structure, clarity and practical support across operations, executive support and digital marketing. Whether you need help improving processes, managing priorities, strengthening systems or driving growth, I'll help make your business easier to run so you can focus on what matters most.

​​
Growing a business shouldn't mean carrying everything alone.
Every successful business reaches a point where the founder can't, and shouldn't, do everything alone.
​
When you're spinning multiple plates, it's easy for priorities to compete, projects to slow down and opportunities to be missed. Having the right support isn't about handing work over; it's about having someone you trust to help move your business forward.
​
That's where I come in.
​
I bring over 20 years of experience supporting businesses through better organisation, stronger systems, strategic thinking and practical delivery. My goal is simple: to help make your business easier to run, giving you more time to focus on leading and growing it.

What Client's Say
Marie-Elisabeth Rustling, Head of Public Affairs - EIT Food
“As Head of Public Affairs at EIT Food, I want to recommend warmly Stacey Aquilina who joined our team a year ago as remote assistant to support our team of 3 in the public affairs department. Stacey albeit working remotely quickly made her way to grasp our business and issues and trained very fast and very independently to master our systems and processes. Stacey has provided excellent support, suggestions and advice to make our life easier. Cooperation has always been extremely smooth, open and purpose driven.
I am particularly grateful for Stacey’s availability, open stance and ability to organise the agenda – hers, and ours in the team. We have had to reach out to important interlocutors at the highest level, and this always turned out to be positive and constructive thanks to Stacey’s drive and commitment. Besides, Stacey has shown most excellent skills in follow up activities, a very precious asset in this team.
I was glad to enjoy Stacey’s steady support at all times and can only recommend her."
Lauren Bartlett,
HR Partner - Gardiner & Theobald LLP
"I have known Stacey in both a professional and personal capacity for over 10 years. She is dedicated, hardworking, and extremely efficient. She is personable, approachable, gets on with people at all levels, is very driven, and would be a valuable asset to any organisation. I have no hesitation to recommend Stacey."

She brings great experience to the table. She makes an effort to understand her client's requirements and takes the initiative to suggest new things.”
