Selected employer experience, grouped for relevance rather than chronology.

O2 Media and Three Ireland

Sales Director roles in Ireland's mobile telecommunications market, developing enterprise business and sales capability. At O2 Media, I led a team spanning sales, data analysis, campaign operations and administration, working across functions to bring customer behaviour and location-based propositions to market. My initial O2 engagement through Resultantz developed into a permanent Sales Director appointment.

Digicel Asia Pacific

As Head of Mobile and Digital Sales, based in Port Moresby, I developed commercial activity and sales capability across Pacific markets, including Papua New Guinea and Fiji. My responsibilities included management-team participation, Salesforce adoption and regular training sessions at Digicel's Learning and Development Centre. This work required adapting to different customers, cultures and operating conditions.

Today FM and Radio Ireland

I helped establish the national radio business's commercial operation, building sales teams and leading sales and marketing activity. My responsibilities included full P&L accountability, a major brand launch and a three-year appointment to the Radio Ireland board.

Bay Broadcasting

Sales and marketing leadership supporting the development of Classic Hits and Radio Nova, including building commercial teams, managing budgets and forecasts, and developing relationships with agencies and advertisers.

European media leadership

Sales Director Radio -experience involving Disney/SBS Scandinavia Broadcasting operations, establishing sales teams across Scandinavian and Central European markets. This included work in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Helsinki, Copenhagen and Prague, with regular travel and reporting to international leadership.

Resultantz

Independent commercial consulting

Resultantz is the professional identity I have used for my independent commercial consulting assignments between full time corporate employments or contracts since 2012 for both Sydney Australia and Dublin Ireland.

Assignments have drawn on my background in sales leadership, telecommunications and media. They have included market development, commercial planning and establishing sales operations. In the case of O2, an initial consulting engagement led to a permanent leadership appointment.

My consulting work has involved both Sydney and Dublin. I was based in Sydney and travelled between Australia and Ireland during 2018 and 2019, before relocating to Dublin in 2020. Some assignments overlapped geographically; they were separate engagements rather than one continuous corporate role.

Selected engagement: ANAM Software

An Asia Pacific assignment during 2018–2020, applying mobile operator experience to commercial development in enterprise messaging, including opportunities involving banking, financial services and airlines.

Selected engagement: Confidential cybersecurity assignment

A contract to establish a cybersecurity sales operation, including opening a Dublin office in 2018. Client identity and sensitive project details remain confidential; the professional contribution can be discussed within those boundaries.

Following my return to Dublin during COVID, I also took time for family caring responsibilities.

Commercial judgement with practical curiosity

I have repeatedly moved into new markets and sectors, working with local teams to understand customers, strengthen sales capability and develop new revenue opportunities. My approach is to combine clear commercial expectations with coaching, collaboration and respect for the knowledge already within a business.

Technology earns its place when it helps people serve customers and perform better. My experience with Salesforce and mobile customer data informs my interest in how businesses can make better use of existing information, improve sales processes and prepare for emerging digital channels.

Recent learning has included attending Salesforce's Dreamforce event and examining developments in enterprise AI. I am interested in the commercial opportunities these developments may create, while keeping implementation choices grounded in customer needs, team capability and business economics.

Aevum

Founder-led venture development

Since January 2026, I have been developing Aevum, a pre-seed venture exploring neutral evidence infrastructure for enterprise AI. The work has included business planning, market research and examining how enterprises could substantiate the actions of their AI-enabled systems.

Aevum is my own venture, distinct from Resultantz client assignments. It remains at an early stage, with technical feasibility and customer value still to be demonstrated. The founder journey has broadened my understanding of enterprise AI and the commercial questions surrounding its adoption.
