Episode Twenty Three - Interview with Alex Leigh of Sport England

The Assistant Lab

Alex Leigh is a new addition to the board of EPAA and an ambitious millennial Executive Assistant, with over 13 years experience under her belt.

A former quantitative market researcher focusing on fast-moving consumer goods, Alex’s love for sport and excellent administration brought her to the sport sector nearly 14 years ago, and the start of her administrative career.

We of course discuss Alex's career change and her learnings from this, as well as her huge appetite for learning and development and why this matters.
Alex's current employer is Sport England. Sport England are an arms-length body of government responsible for growing and developing grassroots sport and getting more people active across England.
We discuss the fact that millennial and Gen Z assistants have had so little profile within the EA/PA world, despite the former now being one of the largest voting populations in the UK!
This is a super interesting story, inspiring and we of course have some laughs along the way.
