Our Mission: Empower Leaders to Lead

Whether you're a founder building the next big thing or an executive leading an established organization, your time should be spent on strategy, vision, and high-impact decisions, not operations and admin.

Meet our Founder

Hi there! I'm Queenie, founder of The Virtual Department.

After a decade working with both high-growth startups and multinational companies globally, I noticed the same pattern everywhere: talented leaders spending far too much time on operations instead of leadership. Founders drowning in admin. Executives buried in coordination tasks that others could do better.

The traditional BPO industry wasn't addressing this issue. Most providers offered cookie-cutter solutions that didn't understand the unique needs of startup founders or the discretion required for executive support. They treated every client the same, when leadership demands are anything but standard.

I started The Virtual Department to change this.

We're built differently. We understand that a pre-seed founder needs different support than a Series A CEO. An executive managing multiple divisions requires a different approach than an entrepreneur launching their first venture. That flexibility and quality aren't mutually exclusive; they're essential.

Today, we support 100+ leaders across 10+ countries — from Manchester to San Francisco, from Accra to Singapore. We help founders preserve runway while scaling faster. We give executives back the time to focus on strategy and leadership. We deliver 40-60% cost savings compared to hiring in-house, while maintaining the quality that leaders demand.

Thank you for trusting us with your operations. Let's achieve great things together.
