Bio

I am a senior business leader, board director, and Future of Work strategist with over 20 years’ experience, gained in companies including Mastercard, Google, BT, CapGemini, and Accenture. Today, I am the Managing Director of the World Wellbeing Movement (WWM), a coalition of global leaders from business, civil society, and academia that have come together to help put wellbeing at the heart of decision-making in both business and public policy. Prior to being appointed to my current position at the World Wellbeing Movement, I was Vice-President and lead of Mastercard’s European Technology Hub in Dublin, where I was focused on creating a great place to work with employee wellbeing as the cornerstone. Under my leadership, Mastercard’s Dublin operation grew from 450 employees to just over 1,000 with employee engagement scores improving year-on-year, and moved to a flagship new state-of-the-art campus. I was also a Board Director for Mastercard Ireland from July 2018 until my departure from the company (to join the World Wellbeing Movement) in June 2022. A former Management Consultant, I hold an Executive MSc in Behavioural Science from The London School of Economics and Political Science; a Bachelor’s Degree in Business & Law from University College Dublin; a Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing from the London Business School; Google’s MBA-level ‘Marketing Academy’ executive education diploma from INSEAD business school; and am a graduate of the Smurfit Senior Leadership programme in partnership with Darden University, where I was awarded a partial scholarship in 2019. In 2019, I was honoured to be named “Business Role Model of the Year” at the Women in IT Ireland awards. I am a frequent speaker on the topics of Workplace Wellbeing, the Future of Work, and Diversity & Inclusion. The best way to get a feel for my skills and career to date is to watch this short and very personal keynote I delivered at the 2019 Women In Tech Summit Dublin on the topic of 'The Evolution of Work’: https://vimeo.com/361285282 In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my husband. Over the years, I have hiked in the Himalayas, Lesotho, Peru (the Inca Trail), Spain (a leg of the Camino), the Alps and of course, beautiful scenic Ireland.
