Intelligent communications

How'd you get here

I have always been fascinated by the intersection of media, business, and public policy, and how they interact with each other. In other words, how does what we read in media influence policy debate and shape public- and private sector strategic decision making and commercial outcomes.

I regularly contribute to titles including the Business Post and Sunday Independent on this theme.

Prior to joining FINN Partners (formerly PR360), I worked at corporate PR agencies Fleishman Hillard and Gibney Communications. I also worked in Bank of Ireland as part of its NAMA team and for Caribbean-based telco Digicel.
