As a co-founder and business builder, I thrive on translating vision into tangible results across high-growth sectors. Currently, my focus is channeled into co-founding and scaling ventures in two key areas: a commercial solar business delivering renewable energy solutions in the UK, and a specialist IT recruitment firm connecting talent across the GCC market.

My approach is grounded in exceptional logical thinking, cutting through complexity to define clear strategies and build robust business processes. I am relentlessly results-driven, prioritising customer value and operational excellence to create sustainable momentum and commercial success. With a strong grasp of business economics and project management, I ensure clarity in expectations and outcomes.

Building impactful businesses requires collaboration and shared insights. I'm always interested in connecting with fellow entrepreneurs, industry leaders, potential partners, and professionals passionate about:

The renewable energy transition, particularly commercial solar in the UK.

Technology talent acquisition and recruitment strategies within the GCC.

Innovative approaches to business building, operational excellence, and strategic growth.

Please feel free to reach out if you see potential synergies or simply wish to exchange ideas in these domains.

Outside of building businesses, I'm passionate about family, fitness, and well-being, recognizing the crucial balance they bring to performance and life.

Uncertainty drove me toward my logic


Makes sense? Let me try to explain..

I took some chances…

I always thought my career would be a Business Analyst or Project Manager. I thought it logical, as certain interests of mine lay in problem solving, data analysis, turning data into useful info and also, working with people. 

To this day, these interests are still very much core interests of mine but the positions I held did not fill me with excitement or thoughts of progression, the best way I can describe it is feeling like doing your least favourite school homework on a Sunday night. I will openly tell anyone, unbeknownst to myself, my “real” working career did not commence until I was 30/31.. where I started on the path, to where I am today.

My opportunity came from unlikely circumstance occurring back in 2013, which led to gaining a position with a growing online sports retailer in the UK, in 2015. 

So, I moved to the UK from Cork, based purely on personal reasons & professional opportunity to better myself. I feel I have always been a sink or swim type person. 

My journey took a while, but that move to North Wales, overtime, gave me everything I wanted and allowed me embrace my skillsets & career passions in one busy place. I was very fortunate, it allowed me to shape my own journey.

I entered into new areas of Ecomm, Logistics, Ops & People, and soon, heading up these departments. That business grew from 4m to 50+million during my time there and we shipped to  220+ countries globally. Everything we achieved, the learnings & insights I gained, helped my thinking evolve around what could be possible for other UK businesses, of all sizes in the global market.

I began to think that if we did it, why couldn't other businesses do it?

In my business, I love working with people behind the business, to realise what is possible and to aid them in order conversion & their back end functions, to provide a seamless customer experience for their global clients, driven by best in class solutions.

-Global Ecommerce; International expansion; Delivery; Customer Experience; UK & International Shipping; Shipping & Data Compliance; Payment Processing Solutions; Problem Solving
