I am an experienced media commentator on women’s entrepreneurship, women in leadership, accelerators and women in family business. I have contributed to national and local media discussions (television and radio) and have written opinion pieces for national print media. I am also a recognized keynote speaker for both academic and practitioner audiences (e.g. Google, PWC, and Bank of Ireland).
I am a Professor of Management at Dublin City University and an internationally recognized scholar and educator within the area of entrepreneurship having particular expertise in gender, incubation, technology entrepreneurship, and family business.
At the age of 26, I left the comfort of a secure and lucrative job in industry to pursue a doctorate. I found a new home in third-level education; from incubators to diversity and inclusivity where my incisive mind, prodigious productivity, and insatiable curiosity have been rewarded.
Now an award-winning Professor, my academic outputs include 50+ journal articles; 7 book chapters; 3 books, 80+ conference papers, and managing million Euro research projects from the European Commission.
In 2019, I received an Irish Women’s Award Recipient for my Services to Education. I welcome the opportunity to engage with the media and to be part of the conversation about the importance and role of women’s entrepreneurship and leadership in all areas of society and in doing so, ignite calls for action.
