Emer O’Kelly

Project Manager

Emer has always been involved in change and business reorganization of one kind or another even in the line roles held before he moved definitively into business transformation some dozen years ago, after first working with Phil Searle in 2006. The strong belief that is it possible and necessary to couple the constant force of change with an empathetic approach has been key to achieving that change effectively and professionally in his many roles.

Previous roles included Finance Director, CFO and COO for companies of different sizes across various industries and geographical spread and also encompassed leading HR, IT, Legal and Treasury. More recently, there have been a series of significant transformation projects involving multiple functions, mainly across the European region. Emer is a Chartered Accountant (Ireland) and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (UK). The combination of formal finance and marketing training along with a tremendously varied range of experience gives him a very wide perspective on business and client requirements, which has served him well in his career.

Outside of work has been pretty hectic too, with milestones such as swimming the English Channel, doing an Ironman triathlon, running the London Marathon and cycling Alpe D’Huez among a host of other activities he has been lucky enough to enjoy in the company of like-minded people.
