I am a Managing Director in Penta’s Dublin office, delivering integrated communications campaigns to a range of clients in the energy, technology, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and gaming sectors.

I joined Penta over five years ago and currently work as a Managing Director, where I lead our Brussels office’s Energy & Environment Team. Since joining the company, my focus areas have been on energy, environment, transport and circular economy policies.

My client work tends to focus on planning and executing public affairs campaigns, with a specific public policy or legislative target to work towards. Advising major MNCs, innovative start-ups and EU trade associations, we analyse the business implications of a legislative proposal and then leverage political, third-party and media engagements for the clients’ policy goals.

I am Managing Director of Corporate Affairs, London, leading group-wide campaigns and drawing upon almost a decade of experience as a corporate affairs and reputation specialist.

I am highly regarded for my ability to manage sensitive reputational matters, providing strategic counsel and crisis communications support at board level. I have a strong grounding in UK and European public policy having led public affairs campaigns focused on decision-makers in Westminster and Brussels.

I am the Managing Director of Transport and Mobility, based in Penta’s Brussels office.

I am a Managing Director in Penta’s cross-jurisdiction transport team, working on client briefs primarily in the aviation industry – as well as several of the heavily regulated sectors associated with it – in Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.

I lead the Agri-Food practice in Brussels and specialize, in addition to the Agri-business, in the trade, and chemicals sectors. With over 7 years of experience in European affairs in Brussels, I specialize in the Agri-business, trade, and chemicals sectors. As a public affairs professional who has worked in both the public and private sectors with companies and governments, I manage projects and advise clients, supporting them in reaching their objectives.

I lead financial services practice in Brussels. We create bridges between the decision-makers and the clients through understanding both worlds. When helping the clients identify strategic opportunities, overcome the challenges, or find solutions, I need to understand what is happening behind the scenes and why. With that insight, we ensure that the desired solutions are implemented at the appropriate level – policy or technical.
