Bio

My professional goal is simple: have a positive impact. From global start up to established multinational, UK national managed services provider to the launch of HireHigher an international opportunity in Sydney for an Australian based Cloud provider and most recently an early hire for a Cyber Security game changer in Galway, Ireland. The roles are varied, the pathway nontraditional but the commonalities clear: drive successful change. I have proactively launched brands, instigated campaigns, leveraged social media, effectively managed third party agencies and led end to end national and international events. My greatest professional achievement to date is the creation of an award winning early careers function employing over 70 young people within a 2 year period. I am proud that my professional life enables me to learn, grow and have a positive influence on the areas that I would otherwise just be personally passionate about. My opinions, mind set and projects have resulted in having been asked to speak at universities and schools as well as organisations such as Datacenter Dynamics, Electrical Review and contribute regular written commentary to Computer Weekly, DCS Europe and Data Centre News. It is with all of this the incorporation of HireHigher came to light, an organisation that is set to revolutionise the way careers advice is delivered in schools and the way employers build programmes for young people starting their early careers. Working with educational institutions, employers and government we will drive the change that we believe all young people in the UK deserve. I believe that the only constant in life is change, an attitude that has seen me live in the UK, USA, Australia and now the beautiful emerald isle of Ireland. I always have and always will embrace the challenges and forked pathways that are sure to come my way in the future.
