Sharon has been at the forefront of the travel industry and last year took over ITTN in the middle of a pandemic. The travel industry has been one of the most affected businesses during that time and Sharon talks on the podcast how she rejuvenated the business with immense energy during what has been the most turbulent time in the lives of many working in the travel industry. During that time Sharon built her company from just one to nine employees who now report daily on travel news to the industry and the wider consumer as a whole.

Sharon started her career in Marketing for Panorama and Airtours, moving onto Sunway Holidays as Business Development Manager. She spent ten years as Country Manager for Insight Vacations, Unilever Cruises and Red Carnation Collection who own the most luxurious properties in the world including Ashford Castle.

Celebrating its 3rd Season the Travel Tales with Fergal Podcast is now listened to in over 80 countries and is Ireland’s No.1 travel podcast. His guests talk about travel, culture, people, food, politics, history, the tourism industry and expat life.

The podcast has a very simple premise where the host Fergal O’Keeffe chats to a special guest every week about the 5 trips or places that most influenced them.
