Name:
Marie Casey
Job Title:
Regulation & Compliance Analyst
Places you’ve worked before:
My career has taken me across Ireland and into various industries. I started at IBM in Dublin, then moved to Groupe Pierre & Vacances – Center Parcs, before joining Inpho Sports Photography. Following a family relocation, I worked at Frazer Ferries Group in Limerick, which gave me experience in a completely different sector, before eventually finding my way to H&MV Engineering and IDCSL.
What attracted you to the industry?
After gaining experience in small companies throughout my career, I was genuinely excited by the prospect of joining a start-up in a completely new industry. The opportunity to be part of a new company right from the very beginning was incredibly appealing. Since there’s no IDNO industry in Ireland, I knew this would present fantastic learning opportunities and build beautifully on my current experience. The chance to grow with something from the ground up was irresistible.
What do you enjoy most about your profession?
Three things really drive me: the brilliant people that I work with, the constant learning opportunities, and the sheer variety that every single day brings. In regulation and compliance, no two days are ever the same, which keeps me engaged and excited about coming to work. I love that I’m always discovering something new about the industry whilst working alongside such knowledgeable colleagues.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I had quite ambitious and diverse dreams! I wanted to be a teacher, a professional basketball player, a travel agent, and a sports photographer! Looking back, I think this shows I’ve always been interested in connecting with people, whether that’s through education, sport, travel, or capturing special moments. In many ways, my current role combines elements of all these interests, I’m constantly learning and sharing knowledge whilst being part of an exciting, dynamic industry.
If you could travel back in time and give your younger self career advice, what would it be?
I was taught to keep my head down and work hard. I think I’d tell my younger self to work hard but there is something to be said for keeping your head up as well! It’s important to look around you for opportunities, to always ask questions, and to learn what other people do in their roles. Being curious and engaged with the world around you can open so many doors.
What’s your biggest career highlight to date?
Without question, it has been securing market entry for IDCSL in a completely new industry and watching our client list grow every single day. There’s something incredibly rewarding about being part of a team that’s breaking new ground and establishing ourselves in the IDNO sector. Seeing the tangible results of our hard work as we build relationships and expand our reach gives me such a sense of pride and accomplishment.
What’s the most valuable thing that gets you through your working day?
It’s absolutely the human connections, the little chats in the canteen and the conversations in the corridors where you really get to know your colleagues and see them smile. There’s also nothing quite like walking out of meetings feeling energised and genuinely excited, knowing you’re part of something truly special. These moments remind me why I love working at IDCSL and reinforce that we’re building something meaningful together.
