With a background in sailing, a degree in fashion design, and various experiences in luxury industries such as jewellery and art, Olivia’s passions have led her to Pelorus Yachting. Her experience is underpinned by her recent MBA in Luxury Brand Management, where sustainability and technology were the core of her studies. She believes these pillars have given her the insight to drive innovation within the yachting industry.
Olivia is from a seaside town on the East Coast of Ireland, just south of Dublin. Her love of the sea and the outdoors was influenced by her environment but also by her parents, who have raced yachts competitively for over 30 years, and her grandfather who pioneered Irish surfing. When she was 16, she became a qualified sailing instructor, taking her to some of the biggest yacht clubs on the East Coast of the U.S. Olivia’s adventurous nature is also channelled through skiing, which has been her favourite sport since she was 3.
