Background

About Kenny Odonnell

I’m a senior learning & development leader with a passion for shaping the next generation of financial advice professionals. With 10+ years in regulated, high-performance environments, I’ve trained 500+ advisers, led national programmes, and driven cultural and organisational transformation through learning. At M&G Wealth, I lead the full training lifecycle - qualification pathways, behavioural development, and regulatory learning - across face-to-face and virtual settings. I partner with senior leaders to embed learning into business strategy, support onboarding and inclusion, and deliver high-impact content at national events. A former adviser turned training strategist, I bring a unique blend of technical credibility, coaching expertise, and strategic insight. I’m energised by complex challenges, motivated by high standards, and committed to building inclusive, high-performing learning cultures. I design learning that sticks. I coach with purpose. I lead with impact. 🧠 Skilled in: • Strategic programme design • Leadership development • Inclusion & culture change • Performance coaching • Workforce analytics Chartered Fellow of the CII | Storyteller | Results-driven | People-first | Always learning
