What's in our name?
Pūmau (verb) to be fixed, constant, permanent, true to, steadfast, faithful, staunch.
Pūmau Business was born from a bold idea I had back in the early 2000s: work should fit life, not the other way around. Since then, I’ve evolved through market shifts, big life moments, and even a name change, from AdminCorp to Pūmau, meaning steadfast. Today, I'm proud to offer executive-level virtual assistant support to ambitious small businesses across Aotearoa with a priority on Northland customers. From inbox triage and system setup to workflow strategy and mentoring,
I help you run smoother, grow stronger, and stay focused on what matters most. I'm not just a doer, I'm a thinker and a strategic one at that. With a background supporting C-suite leaders, I anticipate what’s next, solve problems before they escalate, and build systems that truly work for you.
Let’s make business feel lighter, more aligned, and built to last.
