Claire McDonald
Team Assistant
Originally from Sydney, Claire is our London-based Team Assistant. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of New South Wales, with majors in Accounting and Finance. Before joining Cherry, Claire gained experience across tax accounting, executive support, and even helped an early-stage AI startup streamline its operations — so whether it's wrangling spreadsheets or keeping things running smoothly, she's well and truly across it. Don't let the finance background fool you, though — Claire also went to pastry school alongside her full-time degree, so she's equally at home with a balance sheet and a baking sheet. Outside the office, you'll find her playing field hockey, hiking, sewing, or braving the open water for a swim.
