Niamh Moynihan

Niamh began working in the family business when she was eleven years old and has always been someone who tries to pack as much as possible into the day.

By most measures, she was succeeding and was considered a top performer throughout her 15 years in the IT sector, leading high-impact projects across sales operations, data-driven decision-making and service delivery. But she was working unhealthy hours and burning out repeatedly in the process.

It was in one of her final roles in the tech sector, managing a team of her own, that something shifted. She didn't want to be a poor role model for her direct reports or set the expectation that unsustainable hours were the price of high performance. So she started applying everything she had learned across Lean, Agile, process improvement and organisational strategy to a different question.

Not how to work more, but how to help people perform better without overworking.

That became the foundation of Better Workday. Since founding the business in 2022, Niamh has worked with organisations across Ireland and the UK, helping thousands of employees improve how they work.

Clients include ESB, Medtronic, Irish Distillers, Pobal, IDA Ireland, Applegreen, Flutter, VHI, Tourism Ireland and Irish Life.

What’s her favourite part of her work?

People. Without question.

Niamh genuinely loves working with organisations and the people in them. Seeing a team move from frustration to clarity, watching someone realise they are more capable than they thought, or hearing that the work has made a real difference beyond the session itself is what keeps her doing this.

For Niamh, the most rewarding engagements are the ones where real change happens. Not just a better meeting structure or a more manageable inbox, but a genuine difference in how a team works together and what they believe they are capable of achieving.
