Fionnuala Smith

As a dedicated Project Leader and Operations Coordinator, I excel in managing complex projects and leading teams to achieve ambitious goals. My experience spans nonprofit and humanitarian sectors, where I have successfully developed and executed project strategies, coordinated events, and managed stakeholder relationships. I am currently completing my PRINCE2 Agile qualification, which further enhances my project management capabilities.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to influence at all levels, from board members to team members. My role in the Islamophobia Awareness Month campaign involved leading a team of over 10 individuals, where I was responsible for planning and executing all campaign content and strategies. I take pride in my ability to motivate teams and foster collaboration, ensuring that project deadlines are consistently met while delivering high-quality results.

In addition to my project management expertise, I have a solid background in operational systems and data analysis. My experience at MEND UK allowed me to manage multiple end-to-end projects, streamline workflows, and implement efficient HR processes. I am passionate about using data to drive decision-making and track project impact, which I believe is essential for continuous improvement and success.
