My Job
I lead our EU energy, environment and climate work, managing a team of highly skilled consultants. We work with our clients to understand how legislation will impact them and then use data-insights from in-house sentiment analysis tools, public polling, focus groups and policymaker research to understand the political, public, media and key opinion leader context. We combine all of this to develop campaign strategies, create campaign assets and deliver for our clients.
My Experience
I’ve worked for Penta (formerly Hume Brophy) for almost 10 years. I started out in our Dublin office as an intern before making my way to Brussels.
My Specialisms
My Proudest Achievements
It might be a bit of a cliché, but growing our energy & environment team, and seeing the colleagues I work with mature into the consultants they’ve become has been by far the most rewarding part of my job.

- Advanced Diploma in Legislative Drafting from the Honorable Society of King’s Inns

My Interests outside work
Sports-mad, food-obsessed, politics junkie, keen reader and an enjoyer of time with family and friends.
My Favourite Brussels anecdote
The EU is both big and small at the same time: I recently met someone who went to my school while I was on exchange in Germany as a 15 year old, and we have since collaborated together on work related topics. A nice encapsulation of the benefits of EU integration and freedom of movement.
