the warm stuff
because i'm human
From the Lakeland County of Fermanagh, I grew up soaking up the Irish culture of creativity, a little defiance and a lot of good humour. The youngest in my family, with lawyer, dentist and teacher siblings, I was definitely at the less traditional end of the career spectrum. Thankfully my other brother was a breakfast show DJ, so a career in marketing looked positively tame by comparison!
Filled with a love of design and an ability to think differently, I chose marketing to indulge my creative nature. With a few stops along the way, this has brought me to Hampshire in the South of England where I now live with my husband, son and cocker spaniel.
Ríana Gallagher
THE QUIET COLLABORATOR
I highly recommend contacting Ríana. If you think you need her, you do, and when you have her, you will wonder how you managed without her.
I have enjoyed leading brands with marketing funds ranging from £20k to £9m, led internal and external teams, honed skills across all areas of marketing in both local and global roles and cultivated influence throughout a global business.
VALUES
One common theme has followed me from Fermanagh to Hampshire, local to global and all the stops in between; I am driven by the freedom to create, to innovate, to deliver on promises, to think differently and have fun in the process. And to do this with fellow passionate collaborators with an 'in it together' mentality. This has led my career choices to date and given birth to The Quiet Collaborator.
& MY VALUE
- more than a timesheet
My skills, experience and style, allow me to easily slot into a business, get to the crux of an opportunity and provide the right support to both add value and harness the best of the talent in the business. And my achilles heel? I don't rest until the job is done.
