Building Better Cultures

By her own admission, Carole Ann’s career is a bit of mixed bag.

From a degree in Applied Languages and Business to the Diageo Graduate Programme and on to a number of sales and marketing roles. A spate in ad agencies followed before Carole Ann moved to Coca-Cola where she headed up experiential marketing before becoming Head of Digital. ​

She left Coca-Cola in 2013, having become unwell herself, and turned instead to leadership coaching and then to mental health and wellbeing coaching. In 2018 she founded I am Here to help organisations put people and mental health at the heart of their cultures. She's also a former Irish Rugby Captain.
