About Roxanna
I am not just a Virtual Assistant, but your Virtual Partner. My objective is to ensure that you focus on your KPIs and develop WLB (Work Life Balance).
YOUR VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
Roxanna Cloete
I hope you find the virtual presence interesting. Welcome to my website, I am so pleased that you took time out of your busy schedule to visit my site. I am a high-level Virtual Assistant who partners with businesses to assist with a range of secretarial and administrative services to alleviate the pressure you most likely feel in the business operations on a daily basis. The operational side of the business limits your focus on administration however, this is an extremely crucial function to your business.
I am a Virtual Assistant with a USP (Unique Selling Proposition) that is not just someone assisting you with administrative tasks, but a strategic business partner, who supports you in achieving long term success. I strive to not only assist you in getting back your most precious commodity which is time but to deliver excellent service.
Being able to do everything in the business doesn't necessarily mean you should do everything.

What People Say About Me
During the 3 years that Roxanna worked for me as my PA, I really appreciated her dedication, conscientiousness and professionalism.
When given a task I knew I could always rely on her to execute it to perfection – Roxanna always strives to do her best.
She particularly excels at event co-ordination, any event co-ordinated by her will be a huge success.
I admire her constant efforts to grow and develop herself in all aspects of her role.
I would highly recommend Roxanna to assist any small business/company and wouldn’t hesitate to re-employ her should the opportunity arise.
Kathryn Sakalis
In my twin roles of Director and Professor, I relied heavily on Roxanna’s continuous close support with planning my days and weeks, monitoring my e-mail Inbox and managing my Calendar; thus enabling me to improve my own time management. Her prime personal characteristics of honesty, trustworthiness and discreetness have always been highly valued by my Colleagues and me.
I have witnessed how Roxanna has continually improved her administrative-technical, organisational, planning, capacity-building and networking skills and knowledge through formal courses, as well as by being formally and informally mentored.
She has become highly proficient at exercising these skills in her professional and private life; therefore, I highly recommend Roxanna to assist any small business/company in a professional capacity.
Professor André Görgens
Roxanna is one of those truly “quality” people that you rarely come across in business. She has undergone an intensive International Virtual Assistant training program with me and is hands down a true gem. She is extremely detail-orientated, thorough in absolutely everything that she does and would apply this same attention to any business that she assists.
Roxanna also comes with an extensive professional background, working with Top Level Executives and for large and recognised corporates. She has also completed numerous educational certificates and is extremely knowledgeable across multiple fields of business.
I would consider Roxanna an absolute asset to any business looking to hire a professional and skilled Virtual Assistant.
