Margaret is an entrepreneur, financial journalist and roadcaster. In 2005, she set up Clear Ink, now a global brand tone-of-voice consultancy. Clear Ink’s client list includes Accenture, Danske Bank, Kellogg’s, GE Money and many other blue-chip companies.
Mags has been a business presenter on Newstalk and regular contributor to RTÉ, TV3, BBC and National Public Radio (USA). Over 25 years as a print journalist, she mainly worked for The Irish Times as a business and personal finance columnist and investigative reporter, and as The Sunday Times’ first Money editor in Ireland.
She was awarded the Law Society of Ireland’s Justice Media Award for social and campaigning journalism for an 18-month investigative report and a Science and Technology Journalism award, both while working for The Irish Times.
Mags is also a popular MC and host at events in Ireland and abroad (see Personallyspeaking.ie). She is founder of Women on Air, a writing skills trainer, a voiceover artist, a financial journalism lecturer, and the author of three books and thousands of articles.
Along with her passion for business and clear communication, Mags also loves wild swimming, surfing, travel, dark chocolate and skiing. In 2013 she is taking up Nordic skating. Her daughter, son and husband are very embarrassed by Mags’ latest adrenalin sport and refuse to be seen with her on Dollymount strand.
