With 20 years of hands on sales experience and 8 years in leadership roles, I have dedicated my career to helping professionals and teams carve out their path to sales excellence. Currently, I serve as an Associate Director at AIB Merchant Services, now proudly part of Fiserv, a global fintech leader serving over 1.4 billion accounts and facilitating more than 12,000 financial transactions every second worldwide.

Throughout my journey, I have driven revenue growth and exceeded ambitious sales targets across dynamic industries, consistently delivering results with both passion and precision. As an experienced Head of Sales, I am renowned for building high-performing teams, developing tailored sales strategies, and inspiring people to embrace continuous improvement.

A defining strength of my career is sales coaching, mentoring, and leadership development. I have consistently coached sales professionals and emerging leaders to exceed targets, increase confidence, and accelerate career progression. I believe sustainable growth is driven by strong leadership, clear processes, and empowered people.
I am now actively expanding into sales leadership coaching and performance mentoring, supporting individuals looking to level up through:

Sales performance & productivity coaching
Leadership development for new and aspiring managers
Consultative selling & deal execution
Career progression within sales

I am passionate about the power of ongoing learning, both for myself and those I mentor.
