Her ability to listen carefully, understand what truly motivates donors, and navigate important conversations with warmth and intelligence is exceptional. She understands that philanthropy is deeply personal and helps donors think meaningfully about purpose and impact. Her warmth, discretion, and genuine interest in people make her an exceptional advisor and partner.”

“During my time as President of the American School in London Foundation, I worked closely with Síofra on many of ASL's most important philanthropic priorities. She possesses a rare combination of strategic insight, sound judgment, and an exceptional ability to build consensus. Her understanding of internationally mobile families and the complexities of philanthropy across the US and UK is sophisticated and nuanced. She is equally comfortable in boardrooms, with donors, and alongside institutional leaders. She is an impressive professional and working with her is a pleasure.”

“As President of the American School in London Foundation, I worked closely with Síofra on donor engagement, Foundation Director recruitment, strategic planning, and the development of our philanthropic programs. Having partnered with her in developing ASL's planned giving program, Ann and I were pleased to support this effort through our own legacy commitment. Síofra has a distinct talent for working with Directors, volunteer leaders, and donors, bringing both professionalism and warmth to every interaction. Her ability to guide thoughtful conversations around philanthropy and legacy inspires meaningful engagement and enduring commitment.”

She is an attentive listener, a trusted partner, and someone who approaches every relationship with integrity, discretion and care.”

“Síofra served in the role of Associate Head of School for Advancement at Francis Parker School of Louisville, and she was extraordinarily successful in that role. Síofra is a gifted fundraiser because she builds authentic, lasting relationships with donors. She takes the time to understand what motivates donors, she builds trust naturally, and she has an exceptional ability to align people around a shared purpose, which benefits both the donor and the institution.”

“While Síofra's primary areas of focus were Development and Marketing/Communications, Síofra became my most trusted advisor in leading the School, as she truly embraced the School's mission, supported me unconditionally, and always had a keen ability to discern what messaging was needed and what action we should take. In short, Síofra combines strategic thinking with practical execution. She understands both the needs of institutions seeking philanthropic support and the motivations of those who choose to give. Her experience, integrity, and thoughtful approach make her an outstanding partner for organizations, donors, and families alike. She was an invaluable partner whom I miss to this day!”
