Alysha was a breath of high octane, high competence, high integrity fresh air, and I recommend her in a heart-beat to any CEO/founder/director of a fast growing startup/SME business.

Alysha's calmly assured approach and get-sh*t-done attitude had fantastic impact, and on the side she also helped us search for and hire our long-term FD. We're delighted to have had Alysha on our team and grateful for the big impact made.
