Hi, I’m Vanessa — the face behind National Executive Services.
Based in Ballarat, Victoria, where I live with my partner of 20 years and our two furry companions, I am a remote professional with 30 years of experience. While my career has given me a broad and versatile skill set across many sectors, my experience lies heavily within Health and Community Services, including Aged Care, Disability and Mental Health.
Over recent years, my focus has been on building and managing the robust operational and financial systems that organisations in regulated environments rely on to thrive. Having been a foundational partner in three start‑ups, I have a proven track record of creating audit‑ready processes that support growth while maintaining compliance.
I offer a flexible, hybrid approach — providing high‑level operational management while also taking care of the essential daily tasks that keep your business running smoothly.
Whether you need one‑off project support or long‑term management, I work within your existing systems to support your security and privacy protocols. I am a fast learner of new technology and a proactive problem‑solver, ensuring your workflows remain efficient and your data remains accurate.
Clients describe me as trusted, reliable and hardworking, with a “can‑do” attitude. I am committed to delivering the quality, precision and consistency your business deserves.
