Irish In Britain

About

I am a Waterford native and, after qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, embarked on a ‘short’ stint overseas, and many years later I am still abroad.

Most of my career has been in finance and I have been fortunate to work across Europe, Asia Pacific and the US for some of the world’s pre-eminent companies. My experience covers business strategy, financial leadership, mergers & acquisitions and risk management.

My wife and I are empty-nesters and in recent years re-located to London after 20 years living in the US. I now run my own advisory & consulting business and support new or emerging organisations in growing or adapting their businesses. I also serve as an independent board director for several companies.

I have been a member of the Irish diaspora for 35+ years and seen at first hand the positive difference organisations like Irish in Britain make to the lives and differences of Irish people away from home.

I relish the opportunity to ‘give back’ to the community that has been so supportive of me, my family and countless others.

I hope I can play a role in providing oversight and guidance to the team and that my extensive financial background will enable me to bring a strong, independent perspective to the Board of Trustees, and a positive and constructive contribution to the development of strategy and governance standards.
