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.

Success Stories

What My Client's Say

"Engaging with Treasa was one of the best decisions I made to kick-off 2021 in the right direction. She is an authentic and passionate career/life coach who truly has her clients' best interests in mind. I have been happy with my career progression to date but recognized the importance of checking in with myself to ensure my contributions and achievements are impactful, recognized and centred around my core values. Treasa's ability to help me refine my personal brand and identify simple steps to take to "work smart" and be more strategic versus tactical have gotten me farther in 2021 than I could have imagined. I appreciate Treasa's ongoing partnership and am confident that everything we uncovered together will continue to help me grow and thrive in the years to come."

"By luck or coincidence, I heard Treasa being interviewed on radio at a time when I was feeling stuck in a rut professionally and personally. Fast forward a few months and her IG story pops up on my feed. There and then I set up an appointment to meet with Treasa. From the first call I felt lighter and more positive. I did 6 sessions with Treasa and it helped open my eyes to what I want and what I can achieve. Treasa instilled in me a belief I could get what I wanted! Through our work in the course and Treasa’s continued support I’ve landed a new job. This new job is the role I was looking for and ticks all my present goals. This course helped with my confidence in pursuing the change I was looking for. I would recommend and have recommended this course. Treasa is professional but relatable and hearing her story empowers you to make changes. One of the best decisions I’ve made. I continuously look back on the work we’ve done when I feel like I need that extra help."
