Kilkenny businesswoman Amy O'Sullivan has taken up the role of National President of Network Ireland, an organisation that offers support, mentoring and confidence-building for women, especially those starting out in business or returning to the workforce.
The digital marketing and social media consultant succeeds 2024 President Linda Codoul.
Through the theme of her presidency 'Breaking Barriers’, Ms O'Sullivan plans to highlight the challenges faced by women in business and the importance of overcoming them.
"Women in business often struggle with access to mentorship, investor networks, and equitable funding opportunities, as well as implicit biases that can limit advancement and slow the growth of women-led businesses and innovation," Ms O'Sullivan said.
"My theme for 2025, ‘Breaking Barriers’ represents a commitment to challenge these limitations and open up new avenues for women across sectors," she added.
In her first event as president, Ms O'Sullivan will host Network Ireland’s first ever All-Island International Women’s Day event on Saturday, 8 March at Croke Park.
