Elizabeth Notman

Executive Assistant

With a career that began in the realm of big corporates, Elizabeth gained valuable experience working for prestigious institutions such as Credit Suisse in Hong Kong. However, a burning desire to make a tangible impact on businesses led Elizabeth to step away from the corporate world and embark on a journey of assisting smaller enterprises and start-ups in their growth endeavours. Elizabeth dedicated her expertise to helping businesses transform into the companies their directors had envisioned. Sitting alongside boards of directors, Elizabeth actively participated in critical decision-making processes, spanning diverse areas such as HR and IT, with a singular goal in mind: to see the companies thrive. Elizabeth is passionate about driving success and propelling businesses towards their full potential. Her deep understanding of the intricacies of organisational development, combined with her ability to strategize and execute, has positioned her as a catalyst for transformative growth.
