Karen is an executive coach and successful leader in the Bio-Pharma and Life Sciences industry.

​

Karen is recognised in the industry for having successfully developed and implemented strategies to bring multiple best-in-class high tech medicines and technologies to market. Through her people centred approach, she has led teams to achieve organisational goals through periods of significant change and uncertainty.

​

Throughout her career, Karen developed a passion for coaching individuals and teams recognising the importance of authentic leadership to maximise results. Her time in leadership positions has allowed her to develop a deep understanding of the challenges that leaders face today, not least an ever-evolving environment which leaves little space to reflect on challenges and opportunities.

​

Karen’s clients have described her style as warm and empathetic.  She creates that safe space for powerful conversations. By raising self-awareness, Karen works with her clients to shine a light on whatever the issue is, and in turn allows them to find a way of freeing their potential, crystalise their goals and find and articulate their voice to positively impact their teams and organisations. Karen believes in the importance of bringing your whole self to life including work.  

​

Karen qualified as an executive coach with distinction from UCD Smurfit School of Business and is currently completing her masters in coaching. She is a certified mental health first aider.
