Meet Kevin Deasy, Fractional Director and Senior Management Consultant in IT Digital Transformation. To Kevin, leadership is the art of influencing and guiding a group toward a shared destination, standing in stark contrast to the “command and control” nature of managers. He believes true leaders don’t need a title; instead, they rely on deep self-awareness and the wisdom to surround themselves with people more talented than they are.

Kevin views communication as the ultimate “differentiator” in the age of AI, prioritizing the ability to listen and maintain respect even when opinions clash. Outside of the digital world, he finds balance and joy in Irish history, hot yoga, and the stress-relieving power of the sea.

A quote that resonates with him: A leader is best when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, the group will say they did it themselves – Lao Tzu.
