About Me
Recruitment experience across Europe
With deep experience recruiting across Luxembourg, Ireland, and wider European markets, I specialise in Finance and Insurance sectors. Having lived in Luxembourg and being Irish myself, I bring cultural understanding and market insight that enable me to connect exceptional professionals with leading businesses across these regions.
Specialising in finance recruitment and beyond
At Cobalt, I lead recruitment across Compliance, Financial Crime, Risk, Legal, Tax, and Audit. I focus on delivering a truly human approach - built on trust, transparency, and genuine connections - to help clients secure the best talent, and candidates find roles where they can thrive.
Why I enjoy recruitment
I love recruitment because every conversation is different. The variety, the problem-solving, and the opportunity to connect people with life-changing opportunities make every day exciting and rewarding. It’s this communication and relationship-building that fuel my passion for the job.
Outside of work, I...
Outside of work, I’m a passionate football fan and attend matches whenever possible. I also enjoy keeping up with current affairs, especially topics around economics and politics, to stay informed and engaged with the world around me.
