Background

About Lucy Oneill

I’m a natural networker who loves bringing people together to build strong relationships and achieve meaningful outcomes. With 15+ years of experience spanning project management, business development, and stakeholder engagement, I’ve led international IT portfolios in Argentina, managing cross-cultural teams across Latin America, the US, India, and the UK, and now work at the intersection of consulting, governance, and partnerships at Nonsuch Consulting. Having lived and worked across three continents, I understand the importance of clear, culturally intelligent communication — in both English and Spanish — and the need to adapt to diverse environments. Along the way, I’ve also worked in international business development, the Non-For-Profit space, supported the acquisition of a video game studio in Colombia, and held roles in the startup and innovation ecosystem here in Aotearoa New Zealand. I’m passionate about growing capability, and helping people and organisations navigate change and complexity. Whether I’m managing client relationships, building commercial partnerships, or supporting governance improvements, I bring a collaborative mindset, strategic thinking, and a drive to deliver practical, high-impact results.
