Meet the team

Founder and Managing Director

CARLY HARTAS

Carly founded Country to Coast EA in 2020 after working in senior Executive Assistant and Executive Officer roles in the Australian & British governments, as well as the private industry.

Carly has built a reputation amongst senior and respected leaders as a trusted and intuitive professional, one who knows when to lead and when to listen, and who remains unflappable in high-pressure situations.

Carly's EA superpowers are her discretion and sound judgement, her 'outcome and solutions-focused' approach and, her ability to establish and maintain strong professional relationships.

When she’s not behind the laptop, you'll find Carly spending time with her littlest love, son Max, and their dog Monte. She loves exploring the outdoors, pottering around at home and in the garden, and catching moments with friends and family. She’s one of those busy relaxers, never sitting still for too long!

Away from work, Monique can be found lost in the pages of a book, exploring the outdoors on leisurely walks, or helping her hubby-to-be on their farm.
