International Programs

The next thing I see in my international experience is +3. I would like to go to somewhere the culture is further from American culture next time, like Barcelona. I can see myself working or doing an internship abroad for sure. I would like to look into doing a semester abroad doing an internship or…

Professional/Personal/Social Takeaways

My professional development takeaway was that when consulting, you have to back up your consulting improvement with concrete data. At Core and Thinkhouse, they both made sure that their marketing improvements were based off preexisting data which were either gathered by them, an external source, or their clients. I then implemented this into my presentation…

Thinkhouse

Thinkhouse was very impressive and its work was interesting. As a marketing company, they are able to go beyond the scope of Ireland and do international marketing. They’ve been able to work with companies like Netflix and even Griffith College. One thing I found interesting is that with a marketing company like that, they are…

Docusign and Croke Park

The market for digital signature tech was a blue ocean. There aren’t many companies who implement digital signatures, so DocuSign being able to hit the market before Covid allowed it to blow up and then become a major market leader.

One of the first reasons that the Docklands area is such a great fit for companies that focus on technology is because the population of Ireland is growing rapidly, which means that young people who innovate can work in the Docklands and help to grow those companies. Also, the low corporate tax rate attracts companies…

Cliffs of Moher and Galway

During the time at the Cliffs at Moher, I thought about how something in the natural environment can be capitalized and made profit off of. It was so beautiful and nobody made it, but people are still making money off it by offering tours, building shops around it, selling food and trinkets along the path,…

DoOrder Investor Meeting

The areas of growing DoOrder’s social media presence seemed most aligned with the investor’s financial interests. The investor seems like he knows that with enough growth, DoOrder can be a major competitor to other delivery services in Dublin, and he seemed like he was excited to see DoOrder’s growth outside of Dublin as well. The…
