Non-Executive Director
Non-Executive Director
I am available for a small number of Non-Executive Director appointments with ambitious growth businesses across Ireland and Northern Ireland. If your business is scaling and you need independent commercial challenge at board level — someone who has genuinely helped hundreds of businesses grow, who understands sales, marketing, export and profitability, and who will challenge your thinking without damaging the relationship — I would welcome a conversation.
What I Bring to a Board:
- 21 years of hands-on commercial growth experience across multiple sectors
- Deep expertise in revenue growth, sales strategy and export market development
- Island of Ireland cross-border market knowledge, including post-Windsor Framework dual-market opportunity
- InterTrade Ireland and Enterprise Ireland pedigree — government-validated commercial advisory
- A track record of helping businesses achieve up to 300% revenue growth
- A wide active network across NI, ROI and GB business communities
NED — Is a NED Right for Your Business?
A Non-Executive Director adds most value when your business is growing fast and the board needs external challenge — or when you are preparing for investment, succession or scale. Ask yourself:
- Are your biggest decisions being made without independent commercial challenge?
- Is the owner-founder still the primary driver of strategy with no external sounding board?
- Are you preparing to raise investment, enter a new market or accelerate growth?
- Do you want to access experience and networks you do not currently have inside the business?
If yes to any of these, a NED appointment could be one of the most valuable decisions you make this year.
NED — InvestNI NED Scheme
If you are an Invest Northern Ireland client, you may be eligible for support through the InvestNI Non-Executive Director Scheme, which helps SMEs fund an experienced NED appointment. I am an approved advisor within this programme and have supported multiple NI businesses through the process.
