WHY ARE WE
the GO-TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICE FOR CHANGE-MAKERS & ACTION-TAKERS?

OWNER + MANAGING DIRECTOR

GEMMA O’HALLORAN

Here’s what you should know about me:
I have a degree in Science, a Masters in Environmental Archaeology and post-grads in Event Management, and Innovation & Enterprise Development.
I love learning, asking questions and investigating solutions.
I listen. I want to hear about your company, your ambitions, your ideas, and your concerns.
I am a strategist who also has the vision and ability to gets things done.
I embrace individuality (hence the name Freestyle). No one-size-fits-all here.
Challenging projects are the norm. I have spent the majority of my 20 year career working on projects where ‘this has never been done before’, ‘can you sort it out for me please?’, 'we’ve had this idea and we’d like to make it happen’ or ‘we need to figure out a better way to do ___’ is the brief I receive.
I have a talent for untangling complex problems, creating order and seeing ideas through to reality.
You’ll find that I am always working a plan (or 13!) and looking out for opportunities.
I have a straight-talking, honest-broker style which supports strong collaboration, progress and constructive communication.
Health and wellbeing in a workplace is of paramount importance to me.
I want to see you succeed and to enjoy the process of getting there.

Let me introduce you to some of the other members of Team FreestylePM.
Together we create customised and unique teams for each of our clients.
