In collaboration with Dell Technologies’ Global Alliances team.
We are delighted to welcome three senior leaders from Dell Technologies:
Margarete McGrath
Advisory and Strategy Partner Lead, Global Alliances
Margarete leads strategic partnerships integrating technology and advisory capabilities to accelerate client transformation. With international experience spanning Europe, Australasia and the US, she works at the forefront of ethical AI adoption, data-driven innovation and cyber risk management. She serves on the AI Advisory Council for the British Standards Institute and is a committed advocate for advancing women in technology and STEM leadership.
Louise McCarthy
Strategic Pursuit Lead, AI & Data – UK Services
Louise partners with enterprise and public sector organisations to translate AI ambition into measurable business outcomes. Specialising in complex AI and data services engagements — from advisory and data readiness through to implementation and scale — she is passionate about responsible and inclusive AI adoption and champions women in technology and sales leadership.
Hannah O’Reilly
Data Centre Executive
Hannah leads the development of data centre solutions for NHS customers, supporting healthcare organisations to modernise infrastructure, enhance resilience, and optimise performance across clinical and operational environments. She brings a frontline healthcare perspective to responsible AI adoption and is particularly focused on the potential of AI to improve clinical outcomes.
In conversation with WIN Chair Yvonne Maher, the session will explore:
Leadership pathways into global technology and advisory roles
Ireland’s strategic role within the international tech ecosystem
The business case for women’s representation in AI and STEM
The opportunities and governance considerations presented by AI
Practical guidance on engaging with AI tools effectively — including how to structure high-quality prompts
The programme will include a 20-minute leadership conversation, a 30-minute applied AI insight session, followed by audience Q&A and structured networking.
This event is designed for senior professionals, founders and decision-makers seeking to understand AI not as a trend, but as a strategic capability requiring informed engagement and responsible leadership.
As always, WIN brings together a curated network of accomplished Irish women across industries — fostering meaningful connection, peer exchange and long-term collaboration.
Places are limited. Early booking is advised.
