I qualified as a chartered accountant in Glasgow and after having spent some time in practice with both a small and large company, I made the move into industry. I spent 6 years as finance director of a small start up construction company before joining Nestlé in 2010. Nestlé has been the first company who have recognised me for being me and I have been given the most amazing opportunities to grow and develop. Not every day has been easy but I know that I always have someone there to support me.
I started my career in Nestlé Ireland in 2012, working as a business account executive for Tesco Ireland. Over the following years, I gained a wealth of experience working across several categories, customers & channels, navigating massive change in our market. I gained a deeper understanding of various other functions in the business which ultimately led me into Finance as Sales Controlling Analyst. I was supported by the business to develop my skills here & make a meaningful impact, developing policies, procedures & streamlining our ways of working. I still continue to learn & develop & look forward to future opportunities within the business.
