To underpin this “cutting edge” experience, he studied and graduated from TCD in 1989 with a M.Sc.Mgmt.
The strategic orientation of this programme was the perfect complement to the analytical nature of his primary Economics Degree. The combination of practice and theory coupled with a pair of trained objective eyes, ears and hands equip him to make meaningful interventions for clients. He does this by facilitating his clients to strategically reposition their businesses, so they can gain leverage in their changing environments.
He is Strategy Senior Specialist within the Management Resource Institute, working with Boards and senior management to stand back from their businesses and formulate and agree their future strategic repositioning. He then works with the team to bring that strategic thinking and vision down through their organisations, so that they are all “singing from the same hymn sheet”. He achieves this through a combination of direct facilitation and focused training.
He is also founder Director of International Dispute Resolution (Ireland) Ltd, which specialises in providing disputants with an alternative to the normal litigation routes, to solve their commercial disputes. In addition to this he is a Director of a number of commercial businesses, three of which he is currently chairman.
Outside of his formal commercial positions, he holds or has held a number of influential positions. He is the former regional chairman IMI (Wexford), founder of IDW, founder member of Enniscorthy Rotary Club, Former Board member of 1798 Visitor Centre and The Wexford International Festival Opera and others.
