I was a Director in the Technology Service Area within Deloitte’s Consulting department and my role included managing a number key client relationships, in addition to leading-out the development of Deloitte’s Technology offers into the Irish Financial Services industry. I joined Deloitte in August 2015 through the acquisition of System Dynamics, where I was a shareholder and director, and helped build a business with annual revenues of €25 million. I bring over 25 years’ experience of business development, consulting and leading teams mainly in the Financial Services industry.

I joined the company as Sales Director and quickly became a member of the Executive Management team and ultimately a board member and shareholder. As Group Sales Director I had responsibility for all business development and account management activities across our client engagements and relationships in Ireland and the UK. I played a critical role in developing our business strategy before, during and after the financial crisis retaining current clients and acquiring new ones to help maintain and ultimately grow the business. This journey culminated in the acquisition of the company by Deloitte Ireland in 2015.

I joined Vision as a member of the executive management team within the Global Technology Practice. I had responsibility for Business Development across the practice and acted as Director for my client engagements and relationships.

The JLS group of companies was formed following the management buy-out of Unisys in Ireland by two colleagues and myself. As Sales Director I was directly involved in creating and executing the strategy of the business. After a number of years, we created a software business specialising in multi-channel banking solutions and won significant branch and Internet Banking clients in Ireland. Soon afterwards we raised venture capital funds and I re-located to the US to lead the business.
