FOUNDER & CEO

DANIELLA

DANIELLA | FOUNDER

The person behind TES saw a problem clearly: high-performing leaders were drowning in operational tasks that kept them from leading.

She did not just identify the gap. She decided to fill it herself.

Daniella launched TES while building a new life. Her personal need for reliable support became the blueprint for everything we do. She understood, intimately, what it means when your business becomes your bottleneck. That experience shaped the company from day one. She built TES around a simple conviction: executive support should be proactive, strategically minded, and genuinely protective of a leader's time and focus.

Today, she leads with operational precision paired with entrepreneurial instinct. She is not interested in surface-level fixes. She is committed to building long-term partnerships where outcomes matter and trust is the foundation.

The company has grown quickly across South Africa, the UK, and the UAE. But the standard has not wavered: rigorous training, structured onboarding, and commercially minded assistants who own results, not just tasks.

Daniella works closely with both her team and her clients. She is invested in ensuring every engagement is rooted in clarity, capability, and delivering what was promised.

This is a founder who has not forgotten what it feels like to be trapped in the details. That memory shapes everything TES does.
