Introducing Sacha

Posted by Nell Mead at 11:25 on 31 Aug 2010

Sacha Macey is the operations director of Victory Health & Performance.

Following a university tennis scholarship in the States, Sacha came back to the UK to study Electronic and Electrical Engineering, graduating from Birmingham University in 1999.  She then passed out of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2000 before joining the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in 2001.

Sacha and Nell met in 2001 on the tennis court in Aldershot.  They quickly teamed up as the Army’s top doubles pair, and swapped victories in the Army singles championship on an annual basis.  Sacha stayed in the Army for 5 years before leaving to set up her own property company, Out to Inspire, and then worked internationally in project management.  She managed the opening of Hotel Penacova in Portugal, was part of the team managing the opening of Dubai International Airport in 2008; and before she joined Nell in setting up Victory in 2010, she was part of Polar explorer Robert Swan’s team at 2041.

Sacha has now brought her characteristic enthusiasm and can-do attitude to the role of operations director at Victory Health & Performance.  Her major current project is to secure and then fit out Victory’s first premises.

Unfortunately, Sacha has gained the distinction of becoming Victory’s first patient, having fractured her wrist twice this year.  Fortunately she is now healing nicely and hopes to be back on the tennis court by the time Victory launches fully!
