For founders & leaders

Right Hand.

Alice Garside

I work alongside founders and leaders to take the pressure off the things that don't always have time to be done well. Whether that's the inbox that never quite gets on top of itself, the culture work you keep meaning to do, the diary that needs someone thinking three weeks ahead, or the AI experiments that never quite happen. After seventeen years inside fast-moving businesses, this is what I love doing.

What I offer

The areas I know well

Executive Support

For founders and leaders who need someone alongside them, thinking ahead, holding the things that get pushed to the bottom of the list. Strategic and operational partnership for the work that shapes everything else, with AI woven into how I work.

  • On hand for the day-to-day, from inbox and diary management
  • A calm sounding board when you need one
  • Anticipating what is coming and preparing for it
  • Making sure the right things (you may not want to do) actually get done
  • Bringing AI into how the work gets done, without losing the human side

Culture & Wellbeing

Beyond perks, posters and away days, I support on cultural initiatives and strategies that make a difference. I have built and run various programmes inside companies of different sizes, from launching parental support communities to designing mentoring schemes. CIPD Level 5 qualified in HR & People Development.

  • Culture and wellbeing strategies
  • Mentoring and onboarding design
  • Inclusion campaigns and internal comms
  • Parental support and returner programmes
Working together

A couple of different ways in

I'm happy to talk through what you need and work out together how many days or weeks a month makes sense from there.

01
A defined piece of work
A culture programme, a mentoring relaunch, an internal campaign, a piece of thinking on something you have been stuck on. Defined scope, clear outcome.
02
Ongoing executive support
A regular presence in your working week, whether that's a set number of days or a couple of days a month. Available as your executive partner across inbox, diary, day-to-day and whatever else needs picking up.

About me

I'm Alice.

17 years sitting next to founders and senior leaders, in fast-moving businesses (small and big!). Providing strategic support, leading on culture and wellbeing (I'm CIPD Level 5 qualified in HR & People Development), being proactive, and spotting the gaps before they became problems.

Right Hand is where it all comes together. A way of supporting ambitious businesses from the outside, with everything I have learned from being on the inside.
