ABOUT

Operational depth. Commercial clarity.

I have spent over 25 years in operations and management across manufacturing, food production, multi-site hospitality, and commercial contract management — in Ireland, the UK, and internationally.

 

My career grew from professional kitchens into senior operational and commercial roles managing teams, budgets, supply chains, contracts, compliance, and the full performance of complex businesses. That breadth — across industries and environments — is what I bring to clients: I help SMEs cut waste, improve profitability, resolve the operational bottlenecks that slow everyday work, and prepare for ISO certification.

 

I am based in West Cork, and work with businesses across Ireland and the UK, on-site or remotely. I operate with complete confidentiality and take a practical, straightforward approach to every engagement.
