• I established The42 and helped grow it into the much-respected and market-leading Irish sports news website
• I recruited and managed a team of 15-20 journalists, was responsible for the commercial success of the website, set the editorial strategy, dealt with legal and personnel issues and represented the brand on other media or with other stakeholders like sports federations or business partners
• I also wrote articles, produced podcasts, organised events.

• Part of the team that produced the sport section each day, I wrote a weekly column, as well as features, news and match reports
• I also sub-edited colleagues' stories, drew pages, wrote headlines, choose images while also often deputising for the sports editor.
