Marie O’Connell
Group Financial Controller
I am an experienced and results-driven Financial Controller with expertise in financial operations, process improvements, financial controls, relationship building and financial planning and analysis. I am a qualified chartered accountant trained in a big four firm. I have a proven track record of enhancing financial reporting within various industries such as government bodies, construction, transportation, technology and education across multiple geographies.
In my current role as Group Financial Controller at PulseLearning, I oversee the company’s financial reporting, compliance, and internal controls. I have successfully implemented cost-saving initiatives, streamlined accounting processes and improved financial forecasting accuracy. I am highly skilled in financial analysis, and team leadership, and excel at collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve business objectives. I am fortunate to work with an experienced and dedicated finance team with tenures of almost 20 years. The team has a varied skillset and expertise, as well as being adaptable to change.
I am a dedicated professional who values work-life balance. I am from County Kerry, Ireland and I feel lucky to be able to live and work here. Wind, rain or shine you will find me walking the local trails. I enjoy finding new routes and places to explore among the many woods, mountains and beaches nearby. I love to travel and experience new cultures and cuisines with my family and friends.
