"Operations isn't just behind the scenes—it's about building the conditions where people feel supported, ideas flourish, and the organization can deliver its absolute best." - Nicola Conneally

Efficiency and innovation have always driven her, and the arrival of AI, she says, was “music to my ears” — another way to simplify, streamline, and spark creativity across the business. With a Master's in International Business and roots in Ireland, Nicola brings a global perspective that shapes how she thinks about teams, culture, and the future of work.

Colleagues describe her as calm under pressure, deeply committed to integrity, and focused on creating an environment where talent can shine. For Nicola, operations isn't just behind the scenes — it's about building the conditions where people feel supported, ideas flourish, and the organization can deliver at its best.

Nicola spends much of her free time discovering new places, exploring her love of fashion, and enjoying the occasional shopping find. She's just as happy settling in with a MasterClass as she is hopping on a plane. All of it inspires the perspective she brings to her work.
