Alison is an experienced, senior assistant and runs her Virtual Assistant business, Alisonline Secretarial Services, from her home office providing expert administrative assistance to board directors and senior executives.
Alison has over 25 years’ experience working as a PA at a senior level predominantly within asset management, in both large corporations and boutique firms. She has a strong work ethic, is conscientious, a self-starter and also enjoys working within a team. She is discreet, loyal, calm, efficient and has a high level of self motivation.
Currently she is PA to Dame Elizabeth Corley DBE, Chair of the Impact Investing Institute (formerly CEO of Allianz Global Investors). Previous roles include Office Manager and PA to Andrew Dalton, Co-Founder, Dalton Strategic Partnership LLP and PA to Carol Galley, Co-Head, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (previously Mercury Asset Management).

Alison has worked with me as my PA for over six years, first when I was CEO for a global asset management business and more recently during my portfolio career as a non-executive director and chair of the Impact Investing Institute.
My experience has been one of being constantly and professionally supported no matter how demanding or changeable the circumstances. Alison seems unflappable. Even when things change that are beyond her control she adapts and finds solutions while remaining calm and personable. Not only is Alison extremely reliable and always sensitive when there is a need for confidentiality, she is also a super ambassador who can engage in different public/private sectors and at multiple levels very effectively.
