Unlock Your Potential | Accelerate Your Career

I help ambitious women in banking and finance to navigate and accelerate in their career with clarity, confidence, and strategic action.

Endless meetings. Late nights. Constant pressure. Sound familiar?

You’ve been grinding away in the world of banking and finance, putting in countless hours, honing your skills, and delivering results. Yet, something’s off.

Despite your hard work and dedication, the next rung on the corporate ladder seems just out of reach.

It’s like being stuck on a career treadmill – running faster and faster, but not actually getting anywhere.

You’re not alone in feeling this way, and it’s not your fault.

The truth is, working harder isn’t always the answer. It’s about working smarter, and more strategically.

My mission is to get more women into senior management roles in the corporate world.

And as we work towards a more gender-balanced corporate world, I’m here to offer clear, actionable support to help you climb that ladder.

Turning Frustration into Action

How I Can Help

Hi, I’m Tréasa Fitzgibbon and I understand where you are because I have sat in your seat, and learned through experience how to navigate and succeed.

Before establishing The Career Activist, I spent 22 years in banking roles across operations, sales & product management, in Dublin, London and New York City. I finished my banking career as a Managing Director, in NYC, responsible for a global sales team.

Now, as a certified career coach, strategist and speaker, I use my personal journey, experience, learning, research and training to help you rewrite your career narrative.

I’ll act as your coach, mentor, and trainer, guiding you every step of the way towards your professional goals.
