How Aoife is building a better working world

By harnessing over 13 years of technical expertise and leveraging off the collective thought leadership across our global network, I guide companies of all shapes and sizes through the ever-changing myriad of employment and safety laws at home and abroad – laws that are designed to create a better and safer workplace. (And by showing my three sons that mothers and women can bring tremendous value and insight to the corporate world!)
