Patrick Keaney Email & Phone Number

I am a serial business founder and trusted advisor with over 30 years of experience across several industries and geographies. I am a corporate finance specialist having founded and successfully exited from a number of small businesses. I have a keen interest in SMEs who I work with in a consulting capacity as a Partner for Hibernia Corporate Finance.We help leaders in executing successful time efficient and cost effective business disposals and acquisitions.I also formed part of the WAN-IFRA (World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers) Media Development Brain Trust as the Mergers & Acquisitions representative.I have been fortunate enough to work with executives in over 30 different media businesses across 20 countries to develop in-depth business and industry specific knowledge, unique insight and an appreciation of what is required to create and capture value for companies in the ever changing digital world. My most recent engagement in this capacity resulted in the successful sale of a large national publishing group for >€100m and I continue to help senior management teams learn from common mistakes and deploy strategies and business models to enable long term growth and profitability.I started my career as the Group Financial Manager of Associated Newspapers in London and then in a similar role with Euromoney Magazine where I oversaw the execution of 10 acquisitions over the course of a year. These experiences proved to be a great springboard for the journey to come and I am as enthused as ever to continue to work with businesses to support their growth and development.
