Why Poppy Exists
After years in corporate environments focused on chasing metrics and selling products, our founder recognized a fundamental truth: the world didn't need another way to make busy people busier. It needed a way to give accomplished professionals their lives back.
Poppy was built on the belief that your time and energy should go toward work that matters, relationships that fulfill you, and moments that make life feel full. Not wrestling with your inbox at 10 PM or spending Saturday afternoon at the post office.
We exist to create space: for strategic thinking, for family, for rest, for whatever you'd do with your time if someone else handled the details.
We're not a gig platform. You're not hiring a stranger from an app. You're working with vetted professionals who understand discretion, deadlines, and what "handled" actually means.
We're not padding hours. Our goal is to minimize your invoice while maximizing results. We want you to come back because we're valuable, not because we're running the clock.
We're local experts. Based in Winnipeg, we know the city: the neighbourhoods, the vendors, the routes. When you need something done, we're not learning on your dime.
We build relationships. This isn't about one-off tasks. It's consistent, reliable support that adapts to how you work and what you need. You get the same assistant, who learns your preferences, anticipates your needs, and makes your life genuinely easier.
How We’re Different
Our Standards
Every Poppy PA assistant is:
✓ Professionally vetted with comprehensive background checks and reference verification
✓ Experienced in high-trust environments where discretion and competence aren't optional
✓ Insured and bonded through our $1M commercial and professional liability coverage
✓ Tech-proficient across platforms you already use (Google Workspace, Asana, travel tools, etc.)
✓ Bound by confidentiality agreements that protect your personal, business, and household information
We execute the same background checks you'd get hiring at a large corporation, because when someone has access to your life, professionalism isn't negotiable.

Integrity over everything.
We do what we say we're going to do. If something goes wrong, we own it. No fine print, no excuses, no running the clock. Our word means something, and we'd rather lose a job than compromise on how we do it.
Real humans, real conversations.
We don't hide behind buzzwords or corporate polish. Every interaction is honest, respectful, and grounded in genuine care. You're hiring professionals who treat your priorities like they matter. Because they do.
Community matters.
We built this business in Winnipeg for the people who live and work here. This community has supported us, and we return that support through the work we do and the way we do it.
Our Commitment
Ready To Reclaim Your Time?
Whether you need 4 hours a month or 40, we're here to handle the details so you can focus on what actually matters.
A Note From Our Founder
I spent years in corporate roles (actuarial work, wealth management, business development) hitting targets and moving metrics. I was good at it. But I kept coming back to the same feeling: I wasn't actually helping anyone.
I watched colleagues burn out trying to do everything themselves. I saw talented people spending their weekends on tasks that drained them instead of work that energized them. The math didn't add up, and I couldn't shake the question: what if I built something that actually made people's lives lighter?
That's why Poppy exists.
When you delegate strategically, you're not failing…you're winning. You're choosing to protect your time, your energy, and your focus for the things that actually move your life forward.
I built this business to prove that you can reclaim your time without sacrificing your standards. No corporate jargon. No padding hours. Just real support that makes a real difference.
