About Me

I have a passion for seeing indigenous Irish businesses reach their potential on the international stage and work to help them achieve that. 

Most of my adult life has been spent working in sales & marketing and leading general day-to-day operations and I have held leadership positions in rapidly growing companies in Ireland and also in Australia during a three-year stint in Melbourne. I have also spent a year living and working in Spain and my work has taken me to the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and Denmark. I have travelled extensively through parts of South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Central America. I am a married father of three young children who are priority number one. I believe this life experience has given me a well-rounded perspective on the challenges of business, empathy for different contexts, a diverse set of ideas and a critical mindset when it comes to making important decisions.

My third level education includes a First Class Hons. Degree in Business (GMIT), a Masters in Journalism (University of Galway) and a Professional Diploma in Data Analytics (UCD).  In 2024, I was an independent general election candidate in the Galway East constituency in Ireland. 

Core values 

These are the core values that drive how I operate: 

• Accountability – Everyone in positions of responsibility should be evaluated and answerable on their performance.
• Authenticity – Being true to yourself regardless of external pressures.
• Autonomy – The right and the capacity to make informed, uncoerced decisions. 
• Integrity – Being honest and showing strong moral principles and character. 
• Respect – Treating everybody equally regardless of their standing in society. Respect is a two-way street, anything else is reverence, which I don’t do.
