Verol is a Junior Operations Coordinator at Foundation. She brings a well-rounded background in executive support, operations, project coordination, people management, and AI workflow automation. She describes herself as “the calm in the chaos,” someone who thrives on streamlining workflows and automating repetitive tasks so teams can regain time and focus on what truly matters.

What drives her is the opportunity to connect with visionary leaders, anticipate needs before they arise, and be the steady force behind a high-performing team. She thrives behind the scenes, organizing, optimizing, and supporting with intention and heart.

Here’s a brief taste of Verol’s personality:

WHAT IS USUALLY PLAYING IN YOUR HEADPHONES?

R&B, Afrobeat, and a sprinkle of Mũgithi are always in rotation. My headphones are usually blasting, I work best with loud music in the background. One minute it’s “Walk Away” (don’t ask who sings it, I never remember 😅), the next it’s “Time Flies” by Burna Boy or a full Kikuyu banger that takes me home. John Mbugua is my Mugithi king, his cover mixes are constantly playing when I need a mood reset.

WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?

I wanted to be a pilot, flying high, exploring the world, and being in control of the skies. Funny enough, that dream still reflects in who I am today: someone who loves having a clear map, anticipating turbulence, and helping others soar smoothly. I may not be flying planes, but I am navigating complex workspaces and helping people reach their destinations with less friction.

WHAT ARE YOU HAPPIEST DOING, WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING?

Spending time with my daughter Amelia, she’s joy and chaos in the most magical mix. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if she’s secretly plugged into electricity, she never runs out of energy. I also love volunteering, hiking, attending concerts, and just being outdoors to balance out the remote work life. I’m a people person at heart, so anywhere I can connect, laugh, and move,  that’s my zone.

WHAT IS YOUR HIDDEN TALENT?

I can read a room like magic, emotional intelligence is my low-key superpower. I pick up on what’s not being said, sense shifts in energy, and know when to step in or step back. Also? I give incredible pep talks and elite-level relationship advice… even if I don’t always take my own advice. 

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTES?

“She remembered who she was and the game changed.” – Lalah Delia

This quote grounds me every time. Whenever I reconnect with who I am, I step into a version of myself that’s centered, focused, and frankly…unstoppable.
