Sinead was born in Ireland and grew up in a small village in County Clare. She studied in Limerick and after finishing her degree at the University of Limerick, she moved to London where she spent 17 years working in various industries within the marketing field. It's also where she met her husband and had two wonderful girls. They then move to Singapore because of her husband's job.

Outside of work, she have an exciting hobby co-driving for rally drivers in her spare time as well as being a bootcamp fan during the week. Her weekends are strictly for family, friends and having fun.

What is your Occupation?

Group Marketing Director

What’s the hardest part about juggling family and career?

Trying to find the right balance. Spending enough time with my husband, talk to him about everthing that's going on in our lives and spending quality time with my daughters so I don't miss the key milestones in their lives. It's also good to give the girls time without me so they can develop their own personalities and experience things that will make them more rounded individuals as they grow up.

What’s your favourite and least favourite part of your job?

Working on new ideas, finding ways of doings things in a clever more engaging way is what I love.  My job gets frustrating when things don't happen as fast as they should. But that's just life.

What is the country you most want to visit?

New Zealand.

What is your definition of success? 

Success is waking up in the morning feeling happy, knowing I can support my family. But above all, being healthy and being able to do anything I really want to do is the ultimate definition of success.

If you were not working in the job you are in now, what would you be doing instead?

I would be a full time Co-Driver/Navigator for Rally Drivers.

What or who are your style influences?

I love the classic style of Olivia Palermo and Blake Lively - but I also get so much inspiration from posts on Instagram and Pinterest. 

What 3 values are most important to you?

Honesty, love, hope

What can we find in your bag?

Sunglasses, phone, lip balm

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Still working for sure but apart from that, I really have no idea and I love that. Opportunities present themselves when you least expect them so right now I'm content not having more much of a plan as long as my family are healthy and happy.
