I am director of marketing, EMEA for Autodesk Construction Solutions (ACS), located in Dublin, where Autodesk has its European headquarters.

Autodesk Construction Solutions (ACS) is one of the divisions within Autodesk. ACS provides cloud solutions for the construction industry that meet the world’s rapidly expanding building and infrastructure needs, while making construction more predictable, safe and sustainable. The ACS cloud platform connects people and data across the entire building lifecycle to help drive productivity, reduce risk and guide the industry forward.

I have over 20 years experience in IT marketing working both in the UK and Ireland. I worked in salesforce.com EMEA from October 2000 – 2009, joining when the company opened their first office in Dublin. I managed the European launch of the company and their cloud computing offering establishing the marketing, communications, and demand generation operations across the region.

Subsequently I set up the European marketing functions for NewVoiceMedia, Xactly Corporation and PlanGrid - three further providers of cloud computing solutions, while living in the UK. Autodesk acquired PlanGrid in January 2019, and I then joined the company. I relocated to Dublin in August 2020 to grow and manage the EMEA marketing team.

I have recruited six marketing managers who work closely with the wider teams to drive our campaigns in the region. Despite the remote nature of our work the team collaborates well and supports each other with activities. I look forward to working, and in some cases meeting, in person.

I was a key member of a cross divisional team in Autodesk that worked with Frost & Sullivan to develop research in UK, Ireland and Northern Europe. The report Digital Sustainability: The Path to Net Zero for Design & Manufacturing and Architecture, Engineering, & Construction (AEC), was launched in April 2021, and includes insight from leading firms operating in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Manufacturing on their sustainable strategies.

During the last COVID lockdown in Dublin, I signed up to volunteer with a local "meals on wheels" service. Since November 2020 my husband and I have delivered cooked lunches for the charity once a week to elderly and vulnerable residents in the area. I have also participated in a number of sponsored sports events to raise funds for charities in the UK and Ireland.

In my leisure time I enjoy walking, running, swimming and sharing experiences with my family and friends.
