Marea O'Sullivan

My consulting work focuses on the development of learning solutions for European clients in Leadership Development, Change and Organizational Development.

I bring to OPDC over ten years experience of management, organisational and personal development in: IT, Retail, Telco, Public Sector, Hospitality, Property and Financial Services.

I worked as an internal Consultant with extensive line management responsibilities and as an external Consultant. As Organisational Development Director, aligning organisational structure and activities to a challenging new business model, I instigated and managed change programmes and designed work systems to allow people to be responsive to change and lay the foundations for continuous improvement.

I played a key role in a major Benchmarking project, as part of the Deputy Prime Minister's White Paper on Competitiveness; assessing skills and training in hotel groups across Europe and evaluating the links between training, skills and business performance.

I apply my Interpersonal Communication expertise in coaching and development on influencing, internal negotiation and cross-cultural communication.
