Why could we
supercharge your progress?
OWNER
GEMMA O’HALLORAN
Here’s what you should know about me and how I work:
I have a degree in Science, a Masters in Environmental Archaeology and post-grads in Event Management, and Innovation & Enterprise Development.
I love learning, asking questions and investigating options and solutions.
My straight-talking, honest-broker style supports strong collaboration, progress and constructive communication.
I know the immense value of fully facing the reality of a situation, despite any discomfort.
I listen. I want to hear about your company, your ambitions, your ideas, and your concerns.
I am a strategist who also has the vision and ability to gets things done.
I embrace individuality and change (hence the name Freestyle).
Challenging projects are the norm. I have spent the majority of my career working on projects where the brief I receive is ‘this has never been done before’, 'we’ve had this idea and we’d like to make it happen’ or ‘we need to figure out a better way to do ___’.
I have a talent for untangling complex problems, creating order and seeing ideas through.
You’ll find that I am always working a plan (or 20) and looking out for opportunities which bring added value to any client I work with.
Health, respect and wellbeing in a workplace are of paramount importance to me.
My purpose is to see potential realised and the benefits of its activation enjoyed.
Let me introduce you to some of the other members of Team FreestylePM.
Together we create customised and unique teams for each of our clients.
