Susan Nicholson

Senior HR professional with vast experience across multiple industries and sectors.  After graduating from my Master’s in Human Resource Management in Edinburgh, I started my career in the Pharmaceutical Industry in Gilead Sciences Limited, realising quickly I had a lot to learn! 

After 7 years in Manufacturing, I moved to the FMCG Industry working for Mars Foods.  My role was within the HR Department as HR Manager, but in a move that surprised myself, I was approached to work on Commercial Team to gain some wider business acumen, working for several years as a Senior Account Manager.  

After 7 years in Mars, I moved back to HR working as a consultant supporting employers of all sizes with their HR needs.  For the last 4 years I have been working in Swiss Re Insurance in a combined role supporting the Irish team while working and leading key global projects with the wider HR Team.

Having a keen interest in the area Learning and Development, Employee Engagement & Retention, Coaching & Mentoring Senior Leaders, I am passionate about supporting business leaders at to how they can get the best of out their teams in line with the Commercial objectives of the Company to achieve outstanding results.
