About Me

Skills Mind Map

With over six years’ experience across tech sales, digital marketing, team leadership, and a Master’s in Digital Marketing Strategy from Trinity College Dublin, I’ve built a career at the intersection of sales, marketing, technology and commercial growth.

At Pinterest via Accenture Ireland, I work with some of the worlds’ most recognisable brands to deliver high impact marketing campaigns, drive revenue growth, and lead top-performing sales teams. My work combines strategic marketing with solution-based sales, supported by technical skills in SQL, VBA, and workflow optimisation. One of my proudest moments was launching a brand new tech sales team for APAC, built from the ground up using the lessons I learned at our Dublin HQ.

Now expanding my technical expertise with a Higher Diploma in Science in Computing at ATU, I’m focused on leveraging my skillset in sales, marketing, AI and technical know-how to deliver measurable results for businesses.
