Grainne Carmody

Carmody Consultancy was established in 2017 by Grainne Carmody.

Grainne, who is originally from Kerry, took her first career steps by studying Insurance & European Studies at the University of Limerick, quickly followed by a post-graduate in Computer Science at UCC. On looking for her first role an unexpected opportunity presented itself with a well renowned market research leader, thus kick starting a journey where she has developed a keen interest in research analytics and uncovered a natural aptitude to understand customers and their behaviours.

With a career spanning 25+ years she has accumulated a wealth of experience covering all aspects of the customer insight process; market research, marketing planning, customer experience and in more recent years understanding the challenges and opportunities that digital has brought to the way business is conducted. To better support customers faced by this challenge, she recently obtained a Diploma in Digital Marketing.

She worked in industry until 2017 holding a number of wide-ranging management and executive roles and since as a self-employed business and marketing consultant. During this time, she has helped business across a variety of industries, from local to international, small to large, supporting and guiding them to better to understand their customers to help their business thrive.

In tandem with running Carmody Consultancy she is business mentor with a number of Local Enterprise Offices across the country offering support and direction to a wide range of businesses.

Grainne is a customer focused and motivated professional with a proven track record in project management, strategic planning, market research, marketing, customer insights, data analytics, business development and mentoring. She is dedicated to ensuring that winning results are delivered to her clients through positive and seamless change implementation in a collaborative environment.
