Niall was born in Dublin and completed a B.Sc. (Management) from Trinity College, Dublin and a Higher Diploma in Hotel and Catering Management from Dublin Institute of Technology.
He worked for a small hotel/resort development firm in Ireland prior to entering ESSEC.
After finishing his degree in 1996, he spent just under 3 years working for Arthur Andersen in New York in the hospitality consulting practice.
He joined the Starwood Hotels & Resorts development team at the end of 1998 in London, before moving to Brussels.
"Through this program, I had the opportunity to learn amongst the fundamentals in real estate finance that play a large part in my day-to-day job.
It subsequently provided me with the contacts to exploit such knowledge and information. It also prepared me, for better or worse, for many long hard nights of work.
On a personal front, coming from Ireland twelve years ago, it was a microcosm of many languages and cultures to which I had not been exposed.
I made some of the best friends I will ever have.”
