Biography

Kieran McGirr is a transformation expert and board advisor with a proven track record of unlocking value in complex, high-pressure environments. He has led large-scale business turnarounds across GCC, EMEA, APAC, and the US — managing over €2 billion in assets and delivering more than €0.5 billion in EBITDA, often in crisis or restructuring scenarios.

 

Blending investment acumen with operational expertise, McGirr is recognised for his strategic clarity and disciplined execution. He partners with boards, family offices, and leadership teams to drive growth, reshape brands, and deliver mission-critical change — including M&A and divestments. 

His leadership spans multiple sectors and company stages — from scaling start-ups to transforming multinationals across FMCG, biotech, energy, real estate, logistics, and tax-free industrial zones.

McGirr has served in both executive and non-executive roles, combining hands-on operational experience with strong governance expertise. He is known for aligning ESG with commercial outcomes and for helping organisations build resilience, relevance, and long-term stakeholder value.

The question he asks leaders and investors is not whether transformation is possible — but who you trust to deliver it.

He holds an MBA from INSEAD and has M&A certification from Harvard Business School.
