Hello, I'm Lesley
With over a decade of experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Operations & HR Manager, I’ve supported founders and teams across industries, time zones, and continents -- from quantum tech to real estate, bio tech, private equity, and beyond.
​
Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with visionary leaders at high-growth startups, helping them stay grounded in what matters most by handling the details behind the scenes.
I bring a calm, dependable presence and a solutions-oriented mindset to every relationship, making sure your days run smoothly and your business has the operational roots to flourish.
How Rooted-Ops Came to be
I've been a lifelong lover of all things green and growing.
​​
Outside of work, you’ll find me happiest in a garden, surrounded by plants, soil, and sunlight. I believe there’s a deep connection between how we care for living things and how we grow sustainable businesses. That’s how Rooted-Ops came to life, as a way to bring together my two passions: nurturing growth and creating structure.
​
Grow Stronger Roots for Your Business
Rooted-Ops provides strategic, high-level support that strengthens the operational core of your company. Like a healthy root system, much of what I do happens behind the scenes, but it’s essential to helping your business grow with stability and confidence. From calendar management to systems building, hiring processes, and operational clean-up, I bring order, strategy, and care to every detail.
​
Stay Rooted in Your Day-to-Day
As a founder, your time and energy are precious. My goal is to ground your daily operations so you can stay focused on what matters most, whether it’s vision, product, or team. With me behind the scenes, you get more than just a virtual assistant, you get a trusted partner who keeps the wheels turning smoothly and calmly.
​
Create Roots in Your Community
At the heart of my work is people. I approach every client relationship with integrity, empathy, and genuine care. I believe great support doesn’t just make your business run better, it also creates a ripple effect of trust, ease, and connection.
​
Where Structure Meets Soul
Rooted-Ops isn’t about sterile systems or one-size-fits-all templates. It’s about creating thoughtful, human-centered support that feels personal and purposeful. I bring the structure startups need, without losing the warmth, flexibility, and soul that make them unique.
