Team

Kathy Soulsby

Founder & Chief Organiser

After a varied career (Restaurant Manager, Customer Relations, Sales and Export Sales (of shellfish to various places!) and PA and EA roles in Management Consultancies, Recruitment and Executive Coaching Businesses) I set up Personally Virtual in 2014.

I love small businesses and working in them. Being able to turn your hand to anything, being flexible and continually learning to finding better and more efficient ways to work can make such a huge difference. There is nothing like the sense of camaraderie you get in a small team, even a team of 2, getting a job done.

I really hope that you decide to have one of the team work with you. If you are in any doubt about how much difference a smart, experienced VA could make to your team then please do ask to speak to one of our existing clients and let them tell you from personal experience what impact it has made for them.

To me, getting a great job done is all about relationships, whether that is with my clients, with my client’s clients or with anyone else.

Vicki Doudelle

Team Lead

“Vicki is awesome”

Vicki is an experienced EA & VA, with over 25 years experience, including 11 years split between Towers Perrin & McKinsey & Co.

In 2013 she set up as a Virtual EA supporting small businesses, NEDs, and individuals with their diary management, inboxes, travel itineraries, and administration.

Vicki joined Personally Virtual in the summer of 2018. She is now the PV Team Lead for Q5 Partners. She works with the 12 other associate VAs, to ensure that the Leadership Team is supported professionally and efficiently.

Assisting with the recruitment of new VAs for the team, their induction, and early days with Q5, she acts as a second pair of ears within the team & Q5 to ensure everyone is kept up-to-date with the relevant information. From ensuring holiday cover is seamlessly managed and the well-being of the team is tip-top, she’s the beating heart of Team PV Q5. Vicki is a tenacious, strategic, forward-planning EA, supporting Q5’s Managing Partner & another Partner with their daily working life. Always two steps ahead and her unflappable nature for getting the information she needs out of her Execs is impressive, not only does she have the patience, but she also has an impressively personable way of getting her execs, the team and colleagues at Q5 the support they require.

Vicki is based in France, not that you’d ever know that when working with her, as she regularly visits the UK and ensures that she spends time with the Team and her execs – bringing everyone together. When she’s not working, she’s mum to 2 teens, pounds the vineyards of Southern Bordeaux to stay fit (and sane) and can often be found in the garden looking after her veggie patch. Rarely sitting still, she is also the co-founder of 2 English-speaking networking groups in Bordeaux – one connecting small business owners, and the other connecting mums with regular coffee mornings, lunches & beyond! And as an avid traveler, she’s always planning her next big adventure with the family.
