About Ciara McKeon

US Trade Development Executive at Enterprise Ireland and based in New York, supporting Irish businesses to enter and grow in the US market. Graduated from University College Cork with a first-class honours Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2023, with a focus on marketing and consumer understanding. During my studies, I spent a semester abroad in New York at Pace University, allowing me to expand my network and enhance my knowledge of the US market. I was a member of the UCC Case Team that placed 4th out of 20 teams in the Heavener International Case Competition at the University of Florida. This allowed me to develop my consulting, presentation, and problem solving skills, when tasked with creating innovative solutions to real world business challenges. I undertook a 6-month marketing placement with a digital health tech start-up that provided an AI driven SaaS solution for prevention and management of chronic health conditions, allowing me to gain a stronger understanding of the Irish start-up ecosystem. Highly motivated professional with a strong work ethic and a drive to succeed. Previous marketing work experience has led to innovative strategies, elevating brand visibility and engaging target audiences effectively. I excel in collaborative environments, working effectively with teams to overcome challenges and achieve shared objectives. I am eager to contribute my expertise to dynamic projects and further develop my capabilities.
