About Me
I’m the founder of BreakthroughCareerCoaching.com—a Commercial Leader & AI Enablement Strategist and Tenured Coach with 12 years at Google, currently serving as Senior Product Lead, AI Solutions, Google EMEA in Dublin, Ireland. Formally trained and continuously upskilled as an internal Google coach, I have personally mentored 100+ Google sales professionals across EMEA and enabled 2,000+ sellers via GTM on commercial and AI-driven sales strategies.
Over the past decade-plus in Dublin, I have operated across the full commercial spectrum—closing 16x $1M+ Joint Business Plans in a single year, leading cross-functional sales pods across the UK and Ireland, and conducting 200+ hiring interviews as a top Google Sales interviewer. My focus is simple: diagnosing why high-potential professionals plateau and equipping you with the persona clarity, consultative frameworks, and AI workflows to break through.
My Coaching Ethos
No generic motivational talk or 60-hour grind culture. Every engagement is anchored in four principles:
High Empathy, Zero Fluff
We diagnose your exact career bottleneck immediately—replacing uncertainty with candid feedback and high-leverage commercial actions.
Actionable Systems Over Talk
You leave every coaching session with actionable advice you can apply immediately, and you have the ability to unlock additional resources post-session depending on the package you pick.
Unfair Technical Advantage
We brainstorm practical AI workflows and concepts in order to help you cut down on repetitive administrative grind and become more efficient every week.
Individual Persona & Strengths Mapping
Using structured diagnostic frameworks, we map your surface and underlying persona—aligning your daily operating system with the distinct strengths that set you apart.
100+ Googlers Coached & Higher Education Mentorship
Alongside coaching 100+ Google professionals across consultative sales, GTM strategy, and career transitions, I actively mentor in higher education. As a Trinity College Dublin alumnus, I currently mentor postgraduate Master's students through the Trinity College Dublin (TCD) MSc Mentoring Program, and previously served as a part-time lecturer at Dublin City University (DCU)—speaking to MSc business school students on digital strategy, digital marketing ecosystems, and consultative sales skills.
