On episode 169 I am delighted to be joined by Kilmacud Crokes chairperson Joan Kehoe. Joan is a successful business woman with experience across many roles from founding two companies, to a global leadership role at JP Morgan, to CEO, and more.

Originally from Wexford she moved to Stillorgan and joined Kilmacud Crokes and filled a number of roles within the club before becoming chairperson. She is also a member of the Coiste Bainistí, The Management Committee of the GAA and former executive member of the club players association.

We discuss integration, gender in gaelic games, leadership, Kilmacud Crokes, implementing a one club model, the promotion of gaelic games, and so much more.

Joan is a proven high achiever with great knowledge of Strategy and Structures from her professional career. She offers an honest account and insight into leadership, integration and one of the biggest GAA clubs in Ireland.

Thanks to Joan not only for her time but for welcoming me to the Kilmacud Crokes clubhouse to record the episode in person.
