Background

About Grace McDonnell

With 20 years of inside sales experience, I’ve had the opportunity to grow with the industry - leading teams, scaling operations, and driving commercial growth across global markets. Today, as Director of Inside Sales at Strategy Insights, I lead teams across the UK, US, and Canada to deliver delegate acquisition and demand generation for high-level events in HR, Marketing, IT, and Data. What drives me isn’t just hitting numbers - it’s building teams that thrive. From mentoring new talent to collaborating with C-level stakeholders, I create the conditions for people to succeed and for businesses to grow. I bring a mix of hands-on experience, strategic oversight, and a people-first leadership style to every project I lead. Whether scaling new markets, improving sales performance, or strengthening team capability, I focus on outcomes that deliver real commercial value - consistently and sustainably.
