She is host of Reignite on RTÉ Radio One which has been running for six seasons.

She is an advisor to TechFoundHer and AwakenAngels aimed at supporting women in business.

As an entrepreneur and co-founder, Áine has had two successful exits, first with Storyful (acquired by News Corp) and then with Kinzen (acquired by Spotify). A former Global Head of Journalism Partners at Facebook in New York, Áine has also worked for Ireland’s main broadsheet newspapers.

What if growth isn’t the goal anymore?
What if the real question is:
How do we help our communities truly thrive — within planetary limits?

Join us for From Growth to Thriving: A Doughnut Economics Action Lab for Local Communities — a fast, hands-on 90-minute workshop designed for people shaping places, policy, and community initiatives.

Inspired by Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics, this session turns big sustainability ideas into practical, local action. You’ll work on a real initiative from your own place — and leave with something you can actually use.

Led by Viv Chambers, Founder of Bricolage

On-the-floor mentorship from Albert Quigley & Steve Coakley

Practical. Sharp. Community-first.
Because 90 minutes could change how you think about your community’s future.
