Background

About Cal Hennessy

Currently working as an Account Executive in Client services at Lites Group, Ireland’s number 1 choice for Field Marketing Solutions. Graduated in 2021 with a II-I Honours degree in Business and Politics from Trinity College Dublin. Degree focus: Strategy, Marketing, and International Relations, but other strong points have been across topics such as Finance, Entrepreneurship and International Affairs, such as Sustainability and International Institutions. Extensive work experience in the hospitality industry, working in Bars and Restaurants for over 6 years now, with the opportunity to work with some amazing, internationally recognised brands such as Jagermeister and Bushmills Irish Whiskey. I have great knowledge and understanding in the running and functioning of a business in this field, with an inquisitive approach to my sub-managerial roles in small, medium and large establishments. The transferable Customer Service, Sales and Operations skills learned in this line of work make me excited to push on in my career and bring the same energy and passion to other firms, and perhaps new industries. I am professional in everything I do, yet extremely genuine at the same time. Involvement in extra curriculars such as AIESEC and Trinity Ents have, as well as foreign work as an English teacher and Camp Counsellor in Spain, have allowed me to apply the Management, Strategy, Teamwork and Goal-Oriented Mindset learned in University to real life situations. I speak English, of course, and have an advanced level of Spanish, having studied it for 8 years, and use it often. I also understand some Portuguese which I learned out of curiosity. Motto:"If you're gonna do something, you may as well do it right"
