Having spent many years working in San Francisco, Kinsella always felt drawn back to Ireland: “I went from being an SDR to a VP of North America in six years, and my career trajectory was really going in a great direction. But when I had the opportunity to move back to Dublin, I had to just grab it." Check out the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eeM8hzgF #InvestInIreland #InvestInExtraordinary #CareerCloseUp
