What inspired you to join Dell, and how has your journey here shaped your skills and career in ways you didn’t expect?

Growing up in Cork, Dell was always a household name—one of the biggest employers in the region, with friends and family connected to it. I joined through the graduate program nearly 15 years ago, and it’s been the foundation of my entire career. Dell has given me lifelong friendships, the chance to travel the world, lead global teams, and experience diverse cultures. It’s also supported major milestones in my life—getting married, starting a family, and buying a home. I owe a lot to Dell, and I’m incredibly proud of the journey.

What’s one idea you’ve brought to life at Dell that reflects your personal values or cultural perspective—and how did Dell’s environment help make it possible?

Early in my career, I had the privilege of working with incredible mentors and managers who truly shaped my path. Their support inspired me to give back through the GenNext Employee Resource Group (ERG), where I help guide and mentor the next generation of Dell talent. Every year, I’m blown away by the energy and brilliance of our new hires. I often reflect on my own start 15 years ago—and honestly, they’d have left me in the dust!

What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned while working at Dell, and how has it influenced the way you approach your work?

Over 15 years at Dell, I’ve seen the IT industry evolve dramatically. Early on, change felt daunting. Now, I see it as an opportunity. In marketing, we’re harnessing AI to boost productivity and precision. In sales, adapting to cloud technologies led me to help shape our APEX strategy. In services, shifting to converged and hyper-converged infrastructure opened new growth paths. I’ve learned that with the right mindset, change isn’t something to fear, it’s something to lead.
