About Me
From junior developer to Director of Software Engineering — and now founder — I’ve built a career at the intersection of technology, leadership, and the way people actually work.
I’m a technologist fascinated by people and how SMEs operate. I write and work on modern leadership and the messy, human side of change, blending engineering depth with practical insight to help organisations clarify what they need, make smart use of AI, and build systems that help people succeed.
I’m Jane Reilly, a senior engineering and transformation leader with experience across global tech, public‑sector partnerships, and community development. My work focuses on building organisations that deliver meaningful results for people, teams, and the places they serve.
I help organisations clarify strategy, strengthen teams, secure funding, and deliver operational excellence. Whether the challenge is scaling technology, improving governance, or driving community impact, I bring structure, focus, and momentum.
I’m committed to using my experience to support Longford’s growth. Strong organisations build strong communities, and I believe leadership should be both ambitious and rooted in place. My work is driven by the belief that people thrive when systems, teams, and leadership are aligned.
I combine clear strategy with practical execution. I listen first, diagnose quickly, and build solutions that last. My leadership style is human‑centred, outcome‑driven, and grounded in accountability, and built on the belief that real progress needs both compassion and clarity.
How I Support Your Business
Big‑tech experience, local insight, and clear technology.
Big Tech Insight
I bring engineering and leadership experience from Microsoft, ServiceNow, and Workday, the kind of enterprise‑grade thinking most SMEs never get access to. I led global teams across India, Ireland, Europe, and the US, creating software solutions that changed how people worked. I translate that expertise into practical, everyday guidance, designing systems that fit your business needs and your budget.
Local Understanding
I’m rooted in the midlands and deeply familiar with how Irish SMEs actually operate, including their pace, constraints, and priorities. I help businesses understand what peer companies of a similar size and industry are implementing, so you can see how organisations like yours in this region or country solve similar challenges. That local insight means I design solutions that fit your reality, support your teams, and strengthen the communities you serve.
Clear Technology
I make technology and AI easy to understand, so they become tools that genuinely add value, not jargon or complexity. I help you see what similar businesses in your industry and region are using, so you can understand what works in practice. This means the systems we design together are right‑sized, not overly complex, and require minimal oversight outside your day‑to‑day operations. You get practical examples, clear training, and smart automation that supports your business and can be run and administered by your own team.
