Partnering with diverse organisations to navigate complexity and unlock leadership potential is at the heart of my work. I support clients across sectors and geographies to drive leadership transformation, culture change, and team effectiveness.

Based in Dublin, I play a lead role in overseeing Sheppard Moscow’s client portfolio in Ireland, and have enjoyed engagements with Smurfit Kappa, Musgrave Group, and Kingspan—organisations that, while rooted in Ireland, operate on a global scale. 

Recent engagements also include the World Bank Group, where I led their flagship leadership development programme for over five years. This work supported more than 200 leaders—seen as a critical leadership cohort within the Bank. Further representative client work includes Ericsson, Vodafone, Intel, Telefonica, Diageo, Unilever, Bank of Ireland, HSBC, Barclays, Zurich and Homebase.

In my 20-year career I have held in-house roles in organisation development and HR, leading large-scale transformations and designing and commissioning leadership programmes – work which has given me real insight into the challenges and complexities my clients face. As an organisational psychologist with a specialism in leadership assessment and development, my approach is grounded in empathy and compassion, helping leaders and teams identify their purpose, potential, and blind spots—and connect the dots in a meaningful, human way.

It is challenging [in the current Covid-19 crisis] but lots of people are stepping up to the plate. I do think we really are reaping the benefit of the work we have done with you now. I don’t think we would be working as well as we are, without it
