Daniela x Green Horizon Partners

Areas of support

Structure, Capacity & Day-to-Day Leverage

Daniela focuses on giving the team structure so they operate with greater clarity and be more effective.

Calendar, Meetings & Time Reliability

Calendars are managed reliably, and senior team members no longer need to directly monitor scheduling details.

Delegation & Administrative Leverage

A number of administrative and back-office tasks have been fully delegated, including scheduling-related communication, invoicing, and travel arrangements. This has created additional

Support Across the Team

The junior team is now able to focus more fully on operational workstreams. This has increased overall capacity and improved satisfaction, given the clarity and support they receive.

Jan Ripken

Co-founder & Managing Partner at Green Horizon Partners

We would not be able to operate with the same level of structure and efficiency without Daniela’s support. The value she brings is significant and directly impacts how Green Horizon Partners functions day to day.

The RAY Effect

  • The Baseline: Before working together, we were operating largely on an ad-hoc basis. Time and capacity issues were often resolved at short notice, which was inefficient and created unnecessary pressure.
  • The Shift: Clear responsibilities were introduced, along with a more structured and reliable system around meetings, scheduling, and delegation.
  • The Result: Today, we are able to attend client and external meetings more effectively without the risk of last-minute changes. Senior team members no longer need to actively manage calendars and can focus more fully on projects and strategic priorities.

Beyond the CEO: Team Impact 

The additional structure has strengthened both strategic and operational focus across the firm. Scheduling tension has been removed, coordination has improved, and leadership time is spent more effectively on core priorities.

How I Supercharge Green Horizon Partners

  • Turning volume into structure: GHP operates at high speed, with constant inbound from clients, investors, and internal teams. I translate conversations, emails, and meetings into clear next steps, ownership, and follow-through.
  • Creating leverage through coordination: By owning scheduling, coordination, and follow-ups, I enable the partners to divide responsibilities more effectively and stay focused on priority workstreams.
  • Reducing friction and last-minute pressure: I proactively manage calendars and expectations to avoid last-minute changes, missed meetings, or misunderstandings, creating reliability for both the team and external stakeholders.
  • Acting as a constant backstop: I operate as a second layer of control in the background, tracking loose ends and ensuring that nothing important slips through the cracks as volume and complexity increase.

My Working Mode

  • Proactive Gap-Spotting: I look for what is missing, unclear, or unassigned, and step in early to prevent issues rather than reacting once problems arise.
  • Impact-led prioritisation: I focus on tasks that materially increase leverage or remove friction, rather than simply responding to what feels urgent.
  • Calendar as an operating system: I treat the calendar as a strategic tool, protecting focus time, sequencing meetings realistically, and keeping commitments sustainable.
  • High-trust, low-friction execution: I work with a high degree of autonomy, stay closely aligned with partners and the broader team, and adapt quickly as priorities shift.
