I lead transformations that stick—because I understand both the business case and the technology reality.
I started in finance—Plant Controller, then Divisional Financial Controller at Kingspan Insulated Panels, North America. Managing P&L's, driving plant performance, and partnering with operations taught me how businesses actually run. That foundation shapes every technology decision I make today.

From Plant Controller to Divisional Financial Controller
This foundation informs every technology decision
While still in finance, I saw the disconnect: ERP systems that didn't match how operations actually worked. I stepped into the Director of Business Information Systems role for SAP—not to run IT, but to ensure technology enabled the business, not constrained it.

The transition to Director of Information Systems was natural. I led Kingspan North America through a multi-year SAP modernization—ECC6 to S/4HANA across the enterprise, plus greenfield implementations that brought $250M+ businesses onto the platform. Complex. High-stakes. Successfully delivered.

Today, I serve as Head of IT for Kingspan Americas—leading 66 FTEs across Infrastructure, Service Delivery, Applications, and Security. This is where finance discipline, operational knowledge, and technology expertise converge into executive leadership.
