Kowroo

Today, I’m heading to the U.S. to join the AwakenHub & AwakenAngels Trade Mission—bringing together incredible Irish women founders and leading investors in Boston and New York. It’s an exciting opportunity to showcase the strength of women-led businesses and connect with those shaping the future of investment. As I #checkin along the way using Kowroo I’m reminded why we built it—to give travellers peace of mind, wherever they go. The ability to stay connected and informed is critical for founders expanding internationally, just as it is for any professional navigating global business. If you are in Boston or NYC this week and would like to see Kowroo in action, please reach out. Can’t wait to connect, collaborate, and share insights with an inspiring group of founders and investors. #Connect #Collaborate #Invest #WomenEntrepreneurs #ScalingGlobally #TravelWithConfidence #TravelRiskManagement #kowroo #Aerlingus

I am really looking forward to presenting at ASIS Ireland Chapter AGM at Meta where I will be speaking about 'Breaking the Cost Centre Myth: How to Transform TRM into a Strategic Advantage' - equipping attendees with some practical tools to better quantify Return on Investment, transforming TRM from a cost centre to a critical enabler of employee trust, safety, and business continuity. #travelriskmanagement Kowroo #travelsecurity

Navigating the complexities of business travel is challenging for many, but for #LGBTQ+ professionals, these challenges can take on entirely different dimensions. Research from SAP Concur highlights just how significant these issues are, revealing that safety, privacy, and the fear of disclosure often compel many to hide their identities—a reality that corporate travel policies too often overlook. In our latest article from Kowroo, we explore how companies can move beyond symbolic gestures of inclusion to provide tangible, tailored support for LGBTQ+ employees during business travel. This is a vital conversation that bridges #safety, #ESG commitments, and the human experience of #inclusion. Let’s ensure #diversity isn’t just celebrated at recruitment but actively supported throughout every employee’s journey. #travelriskmanagement #corporatetravel #travelsecurity

In a corporate world that proudly waves the flag of #diversity and #inclusion, there's a private journey many LGBTQ+ professionals undertake—navigating the complexities of business travel without adequate support or acknowledgement. While companies tout their #ESG commitments and celebrate individual strengths during #recruitment, the tangible support for these individuals often fades once they're on board. This article sheds light on the unseen challenges faced by #LGBTQ+ employees during business travel and calls on #HR, #diversity and #security professionals to turn inclusive promises into meaningful action. #travelriskmanagement
