Speaker Profile
AIDEEN HOPKINS
Co-Owner & Operations Director,EER Business Services
Successful strategic performance is inextricably tied to the overall operational performance of a company and thank to Aideen Hopkins, this is an area that EER continues to excel in. As a member of the EER board and part of the Senior Management Team Aideen has demonstrated her abilities as a highly analytical and skilled communicator, as well as her driven commitment to achieving the best possible results.
Aideen is responsible for the continued organisational development and growth of EER and often draws on her communications background to share her operational expertise at international relocation and immigration conferences and panels. With such a strong background in global mobility, as well as the corporate sector, it is hardly surprising that she has had the foresight to lead the automation and digitization of EER in order to better cater to client requirements long into the future.
