Where are you from and how did you get here?
I am from Dublin and my career to date has been both public and private sector. I was part of the multinational tech sector, focusing on markets from UKI to EMEA to global. I graduated from UCD with a BA in Economics, and from TUD with a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Innovation & Digital Transformation.
What is it about business and start-ups that so interests you?
I am enthusiastic about nurturing and promoting entrepreneurial development to support businesses on the road to reaching their full potential. Working in this vibrant and ever-changing area is exciting, and I enjoy the variety it offers.
When did you become a New Frontiers PM and what inspired you to become one?
I joined the New Frontiers Programme Manager team for IADT in July 2024. The New Frontiers programme gives the unique opportunity to be a part of the new founder’s rollercoaster ride, supporting them from that first kernel of an idea through to developing a company and learning to understand and acquire customers.
What do you feel are the qualities you bring to the role?
I think my key strengths include strategic thinking, leadership, effective collaboration, and communication.
