About GovNet
Ron Doobay - GovNet CTO
“I cannot recommend Angela highly enough as an Asana expert and strategic partner for any organisation looking to truly leverage the platform.”
James Tucker - GovNet CEO
Asana Queen. always! Anyone wanting to even go near using Asana in their business should speak to you first.
“Asana expert and strategic partner”
I cannot recommend Angela highly enough as an Asana expert and strategic partner for any organisation looking to truly leverage the Asana platform. Her ability to audit, train, and implement Asana at pace, while embedding it into core operations, allows businesses to realise its benefits quickly and effectively.
“deep Asana expertise with real-world project management and operations experience”
Angela brings more than just technical knowledge - she pairs deep Asana expertise with real-world project management and operations experience. This combination means she doesn’t just build systems; she builds solutions that drive real outcomes. Her work at GovNet is a prime example of this.
Angela designed and implemented a company-wide operational and project management solution in Asana, starting with Data and IT projects and expanding across Design, IT, Data, CRM, Finance and HR (the Central Functions Teams formed the GovNet’s business backbone). Through advanced workflow design, she introduced:
form-based request systems
automated task assignments & escalation
linked training resources
All of which reduced inefficiency and freed up teams to focus on higher-value work.
“designed and implemented a full operational and project management solution in Asana”
“complex integrations”
She handled complex integrations including:
native Asana-HubSpot
Zapier automation for HiBob and other tools.
Angela also developed a structured PO process for Finance, launched an events calendar and project automation framework for event delivery, and implemented comprehensive business-wide reporting on product and project status.
“monitoring of feature enhancements”
Her impact extended far beyond implementation. She delivered:
New joiner/onboarding & on-going user training
Weekly reporting & dashboards
Continuous iteration based on feature enhancements/releases.
Her work ensured GovNet always stayed ahead of the evolving Asana roadmap, ensuring we got the maximum value from the platform.
“introduced formal governance tools”
Angela also introduced formal governance practices within GovNet, many managed seamlessly within Asana, including:
CAB (Change Advisory Board).
RAID Logs* for Risk & Issue tracking.
Tracking company and personal goals
Facilitate structured 1-2-1s, .
Showing how versatile the system can be in the right hands. However, where Asana was not the right approach, Angela ensured that the correct system or process was adopted.
*Risks, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies
“conduct gap analyses”
Crucially, Angela understands that Asana isn’t always the default for every business. Her ability to conduct gap analyses between Asana and other platforms such as Monday.com, ClickUp, and Notion provided us with confidence that we were using the right tool for the job.
In short, if you’re considering investing in Asana, you need someone who doesn’t just know the software - but understands how to deploy it strategically across your business. Angela delivers:
faster adoption
higher productivity
and more robust operations.
She’s a true Asana partner in every sense of the word.
