The Founder

I spent seven years climbing the corporate ladder in aircraft leasing, at firms including Avolon and Lease Corporation International, and I have over a decade of combined experience across aviation finance and the legal sector. As a transaction manager, I worked on some of the most significant portfolio deals in the sector, including Avolon's sale of 49 regional jets to Falko: 28 Embraer E-Jets and 21 Bombardier CRJs, on lease to nine airlines worldwide, in a transaction valued at over $1 billion.

Eventually, I reached a glass ceiling. Rather than accept it, I chose to requalify. I am now qualifying as a solicitor and completing an LLM with the Law Society of Ireland. I sat every one of my professional exams while working full time in a demanding transaction role, so I know exactly what it is to manage deadlines, pressure and a life that does not pause.

What carried me through was not willpower alone. It was the practices I gathered along the way: yoga, meditation, breathwork, and the energetic tools that kept me grounded, clear and protected. I am a 500-hour trained yoga teacher and sound healer, with training in Reiki and in Celtic and Shamanic practice.

These days, home is my family farm in County Roscommon, which I share with my dog Amelie, Ginny, my retired racehorse, and a plethora of other animals. After more than a decade living in London and Dublin and travelling extensively for work, I swapped city life for something a little quieter. I've swapped car horns for cow moos, and I haven't looked back. Life here moves at a different pace, and it has taught me that calm is something you build, not something you wait for.

The Corporate Crunch is everything that helped me, shaped for people doing what I did. Two mornings a week, before the emails begin.
