Ireland

About

I am a partner in our Assurance practice based in our Cork office in Ireland. I am a native of Cork and joined the firm in June 2018 to focus on serving both large multinational and private, indigenous fast growth clients with a particular focus on the Munster region. I am a Chartered Accountant with nearly 20 years of experience. Prior to joining EY, I spent 7 years with Gilead Sciences where as a member of the Ireland leadership team I led global finance teams in both the manufacturing/distribution and shared services areas. Previously I spent over 12 years working in public practice with KPMG. I also have experience of finance function transformation, project management and large scale organisational change through my leadership of Gilead’s global manufacturing finance centre of excellence. I am a Commerce graduate of University College Cork and a Fellow of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland.
