Alumni Profile: Angela Cooney

Memories

I have many favourite memories from DCU but the one I recall with great fondness is my graduation day: being supported by fellow students and our families, as we celebrated our undergraduate degree achievement and looked with optimism to future opportunities. It was a very special day.

Career highlight

My strongest career highlights have all been centred around hugely supportive leaders that have mentored me and enabled global roles that have enriched me professionally and personally. These roles included collaborating with business partners across Asia, setting up the first wholly owned European localisation services hub in China and working with enterprise organisations as they developed their international strategy for new global markets. Recently, I’ve been strongly encouraged by my mentors to embark on business coaching which has renewed and reinforced for me a learning mindset, which is essential to aid adaptability during uncertain and complex times.
