Lantum Creates Space To Scale With EA Support From Pickle

The Challenge:
Scaling CEO Support in a Fast-Growth Healthtech Business

Lantum is a fast-growing healthtech company transforming workforce management across the NHS. The business operates in a fast-moving environment where time, clarity and focus matter.

As the company grew, one pressure point became clear: managing the CEO’s complex and constantly shifting diary. With a mix of internal leadership meetings, customer conversations, investor updates and strategic work, diary and inbox management had become reactive and time-consuming.

When Lantum’s full-time EA moved on, the team took a step back. Replacing the role one-for-one didn’t feel right. They needed senior-level support, but with flexibility, speed and scalability.

The Solution:
Flexible Executive Support Embedded Fast

Pickle partnered Lantum with a dedicated Executive Assistant who quickly embedded into the business. The focus was on:

• Proactive diary and inbox management for the CEO
• Anticipating scheduling conflicts and shifting priorities
• Ad hoc administrative support across the wider leadership team

Onboarding was simple. The setup was fast, expectations were clear, and support began delivering value almost immediately.

The Outcome:
Operational Efficiency to Support Healthcare Growth

Pickle’s support has become part of how the company operates day to day.

Rather than reacting to admin demands, the business now runs with more intention and less friction — creating space for leadership, strategic work and continued growth across the healthcare system.
