As head of financial operations at telecoms provider eir, my role is to ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of the company’s financial processes. I support our CFO and group finance director in delivering group revenue (€1.296bn billion in 2023), EBITDA and cash targets. I am also currently leading several automation and finance transformation projects that will enhance our overall efficiency and accuracy.
I lead and work with an incredibly talented team. I get immense satisfaction seeing my team achieve their personal and professional goals while also achieving team objectives. We’ve created a culture where everyone’s contributions are valued, and it makes working at eir very enjoyable.
The ability to embrace change and navigate uncertainty is paramount to success
One of the big opportunities coming down the line is the continued expansion of our fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) and 5G networks. By strategically investing in and enhancing our network, we aim to provide our two million customers with faster data speeds, lower latency and improved connectivity. Our purpose is to connect for a better Ireland by building world-class connectivity and technology solutions.
I was thrilled to be selected as an ACCA Leader of Tomorrow. This programme aligns with my long-term career goals by offering exposure to other professionals with diverse perspectives and experiences. Engaging with fellow participants from various backgrounds and industries across the globe is enabling me to broaden my understanding of different sectors and emerging trends.
Being surrounded by nature helps me clear my mind and gain a fresh perspective
Those who remain stagnant or resistant to change will be left behind. Business landscapes are constantly evolving and the ability to adapt to new circumstances, embrace change and navigate uncertainty is paramount to success. By remaining flexible, open-minded and resilient in the face of change, I’ve been able to weather storms, overcome obstacles and emerge stronger and more resilient than before.
One of my favourite ways to unwind is by spending time outdoors, preferably with family and friends. Whether it’s taking a stroll along the beach with my two young daughters, or enjoying a round of golf with friends, being surrounded by nature helps me clear my mind and gain a fresh perspective on life.
