How did you start working in sport?

Prior to taking on the role in HRI, I was chief executive of the Turf Club for two years and manager of the Curragh Racecourse and Training Centre for five years. Previously, I was employed as financial controller of the Turf Club from 1985 to 1989. I also spent four years working as an accountant for KPMG after graduating.
