About Wolf Advisory.

I N T E R I M C - S UI T E E X E C U T I V E A S S I G N M E N T S

I’m very comfortable with temporary CEO and appropriate C-Suite executive appointments. A first class honours Diploma in Corporate Governance from UCD Smurfit Business School and decades of experience as Board Member and Board Secretary has led to a strong competence in senior executive and board CSG requirements and responsibilities.

Following retirement from UCD, took time out to travel etc. This has obviously been curtailed by COVID-19 so I decided to establish an advisory entity designed to assist business leaders such as those with whom I worked while at UCD. This entity, “Wolf Advisory” gives confidential advice to clients in the areas of Board & Governance; CEO Consulting & Mentorship; Negotiation and Advocacy & Corporate Strategy.
