 Written by [thinkPARALLAX](https://blog.thinkparallax.com/author/thinkparallax) | October 08, 2024

**Name**: Niamh O' Mara

**Title**: Senior Director, Sustainability Strategy

**Current residence**: Cary, North Carolina

**Hometown**: Cork, Ireland 

**Fun fact**: My name is Irish and it is pronounced “Neev” 

‍

**Tell us about your background. How did you end up at tPX?**

I was a client of tPX more than ten years ago, and, in a testament to how life can come full circle—having carried out a mix of in-house and consulting roles in the interim—I am thrilled to now join the team here. 

**What’s your favorite part of your job?**‍

Making connections and building relationships with a diverse group of people— both tPX team members and clients. 

‍**thinkPARALLAX’s purpose is to inspire fresh perspectives on sustainable business transformation. What perspective do you bring to tPX, our clients, and/or our industry?**

I have had a multitude of work and travel experiences over the years. From waitressing to strategy, and from China to Ireland, I have picked up a few ideas, inspirations, and observations along the way. 

Most recently, I was based in Europe working with clients who are preparing for or undergoing change and transformation, so I have been working with some early adopters of innovation and change around sustainability. I’m excited to bring those insights to my new clients at thinkPARALLAX. 

‍**What’s a project you’ve worked on (at tPX or a previous role) that you really enjoyed or that felt really meaningful?**

In a previous role, I built out the sustainability strategy and reporting function of a large organization, from scratch. I showed the leadership team the opportunities that could be unlocked with a sustainability strategy. That company went on to become a sustainability leader in their field, something I am still really proud of today. 

‍**What causes are you most interested in?**

I have a family member with additional needs and, as a result, have engaged with social impact causes since a young age. Most recently, I was a board member for a nonprofit that served more than 1,500 children and adults with additional needs. I was privileged to learn from a diverse range of fellow board members and to serve an organization that had such a tangible social impact. 

‍**What brings you joy outside of work?**

I love adventures and exploration—I am continuing that in my adopted home of North Carolina with my family by exploring everything this state has to offer.
