I grew up in Ireland and following a diploma in International Business Studies, I moved to France for a year and never went back! Prior to joining Redevco, I worked for a family office in M&A where my role consisted of analysing and sourcing investment opportunities in industrial sectors. I joined Redevco in 2017 in a supporting role as Portfolio Assistant. This position allowed me to delve into Real Estate and learn about the sector. A whole new world opened up to me with its challenges and fulfilments and even though my job was varied, I quickly missed the operational side of my previous job so when one of my colleagues decided to leave Redevco, I seized the opportunity and applied for the position of Property Manager. What surprised me the most was the diversity of responsibilities. A Property Manager not only deals with technical issues and participates in the general meetings of shopping centres but also elaborates the asset business plans and yearly budgets. In my case, I am also the Sustainability lead for the French assets. This part of my job is passionate and evolves daily. “I take pride in working for a company that genuinely emphasises sustainability and is dedicated to transforming properties to enhance the vitality of urban landscapes.”

As a seasoned executive in Real Estate with a global perspective, I excel in building strategic relationships and driving transformational change. Partnering with senior stakeholders, I lead high-performing teams across the USA, EMEA, and APAC to deliver tailored, strategic solutions. With a strong commercial focus, I blend forward-thinking strategy with hands-on implementation across diverse geographic regions. A proven change agent in turnaround and transformational initiatives, I prioritize establishing strong client partnerships while providing visible leadership to my teams—ensuring measurable, high-impact results.
