My career in tech has been defined by hyper-growth where nothing stays the same day-to-day. 

​

I started my career in sales and customer support in globally recognised companies including Allianz Global and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, then moved into commercial analysis in ION Group, a rapidly growing financial software company. 

​

I joined Intercom, an Irish software unicorn as it scaled from 150 to 1,000 staff, and worked across three departments; Engineering, Support and Legal, while there. Career highlights in Intercom were serving as their Data Protection Officer, rolling out GDPR compliance, gaining SOC2 Certification and helping to establish Intercom's in-house legal team.

 

During the pandemic I joined TikTok as it opened it's Dublin office and grew rapidly from less than 100 staff in Ireland to over 3000. Here I managed two teams in Legal Policy Operations - Privacy Operations and Intellectual Property Operations - across EMEA, APAC, and LATAM. 

​

Subsequently I joined Roadie, a small but rapidly growing Irish start-up as a part-time Chief of Staff and simultaneously consulted with Tillage Advisors on privacy and cybersecurity. As Roadie grew and moved through funding rounds I took on a full-time Chief of Staff role for 4 years.

 

In this time I saw how important it is to take a ruthlessly focused approach to everything you do in an early stage company. Losing focus can leave you far behind. I hope to use this experience to take on privacy and cybersecurity for start up and scale up companies so the founders and team can remain focused on the work that matters to them.
