"As Group GM of L&D I worked as a business partner with Kieran at the Al-Futtaim Group when he was the Head of HR for IKEA Middle East. He has a very high level of capability and experience across all the HR disciplines making him one of the most well rounded practitioners I have worked with. 

He is a catalyst for change and driving organisational growth. Examples of this is the STAR (Super Talented At Retail) program that he designed and implemented as a key component of his talent management strategy. The success of this program saw it adopted across other brands in the AF Retail Division. 

Kieran has an exceptional work ethic, sets high standards, is commercially orientated and readily takes on leadership challenges."
