With 30+ years leading commercial growth across international roles, I’ve rebuilt businesses, teams, and messaging from the inside out. I’ve also rebuilt myself - from a burned-out Global VP to a woman on a mission to live and lead with purpose.
My talks don’t just scratch the surface. They provoke, energise, and inspire real action - whether that means scaling a business, rethinking leadership, or helping high-achieving women finally put themselves back in the centre of their own lives.
Need something else? I create bespoke keynotes or workshops tailored to your audience, covering professional growth, personal development, or a powerful blend of both.
Ciara is a former Global VP with over 30 years of experience leading commercial functions across sales, marketing, and customer experience. Known for her no-nonsense and supportive leadership style, she has spent the last decade turning around businesses with stalled revenue or ambitious growth plans. Her proudest legacy? High-performing teams where “attrition” usually means promotion or strategic restructure. “I don’t mess about. But my teams learn a lot. No one seems to want to leave.”
At 50, Ciara faced a midlife reset. Today, she splits her time as a business fixer with speaking, and coach/ mentor - with a strong focus on middle managers, whom she calls the “forgotten middle” of businesses today. Through her own inner journey, she realised the same frameworks she used to grow businesses could be applied to personal growth. In turn, she believes businesses would benefit from doing their own “inner work” rather than looking outside for answers.
She speaks on leadership, business and personal growth, burnout, and reinvention. Known for her straight-talking yet soulful style, her mission is to help people believe in what’s possible, and to grow with purpose, create sustainable success, and live on their terms.
