Delegates have the opportunity to challenge world leaders, engage with, and be mentored by expert industry influencers and make lasting connections. Together we celebrate our young leaders through social events and the unforgettable Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
About Fiona
Fiona qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2016 having trained with KPMG in their Management and Risk Consulting Department. Following this, she joined Gaelectric, a renewable energy developer, as Senior Accountant. Fiona took the opportunity in 2018 to go travelling and it was while travelling that she identified the gap in the market for her own business, becoming increasingly conscious of how our daily lifestyle choices impact the environment and wanting to make sustainable living more accessible and widespread in Ireland.
Fiona is now owner and founder of
Green Outlook, a company that promotes sustainable living and products. Green Outlook provides a range of products to help consumers lessen their environmental impact. Each product has been sourced to help people to shop consciously. Many are plastic free, and all are made with natural ingredients and sustainably sourced. Most are sourced in Ireland, further reducing their carbon footprint.
Fiona is also co-lead of the Climate Action workstream of the
FinBiz2030 Irish Taskforce and is particularly passionate about Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action.
