My motto:

Quality, not quantity.

Worthy reminder... 

When not working, I am... 

Chanting, swimming, and training in the park on the balance beam.

A Bit About Me

I like nothing more than diving deep into any given task (in Ireland we say, 'getting stuck in') to understand the issues from the ground up in order to formulate strategies that create revenue-generating solutions and opportunities.

 

Relationships, effective communication, and trust lie at the heart of my business life — with colleagues, clients, and the broader business community. Having a bit of fun helps a lot, too.

​

I have been fortunate enough to work with banking, legal, corporate, and multilateral organisations around the world, and have spoken at industry events on four continents. I was also a founding Member of the ICC Market Intelligence Group — set up to examine global trends in international trade finance, and coordinate input from all project partners/participants: WTO, World Bank, IMF, SWIFT, IFC, IDB, ADB, and 100's of Banks from around the world.
