Colette O Sullivan

Colette qualified as an accountant with the CPA in 2000. Colette came to ACE in 2018 as the Finance & Operations Manager with a wealth of both Industry and University financial experience. Prior to UCC, Colette worked in multi nationals such as ReSound and Musgraves and was the Financial Accountant in Kodak for a number of years. Colette joined UCC in 2002 as the Acting Research Accountant in the Research Grants and Contracts Office. In 2003 Colette successfully applied for the first finance post outside of the Finance Office, in the School of Nursing & Midwifery. Colette managed the capital expenditure of the building of the School of Nursing & Midwifery, in the Brookfield Health Sciences Complex and was an integral part of the build team. Following the restructuring of the seven faculties into four Colleges, Colette was appointed as College Finance Analyst, College of Business & Law in 2009. In this post, Colette reported to both the Head of College and the Bursar, and managed the finances of the College.

In 2019 Colette studied for a Postgraduate Certificate in Personal and Management Coaching and was appointed to the UCC Internal Coaching Panel. Colette will continue to Masters level in 2020/21. Colette believes we all have within us everything we need, and is particularly interested in new awareness’s that might occur to someone because of coaching. Colette’s values are based on mutual respect and a sense of integrity, in a confidential, non-judgmental environment. To observe a coachee moving forward and flourishing is hugely rewarding for Colette, and she finds it a privilege that a coachee trusts her and shares their story with her. To date, Colette has successfully coached a number of UCC staff.

“From acorns to mighty oaks, coaching can be transformative, I’m here to enable you to unlock your potential and become the best version of yourself”. Colette O’Sullivan, ACE.
