The Vision Behind POP-UP CEO

Pop-Up CEO was founded to provide businesses with the strategic leadership they need—exactly when they need it. Led by Connor Walsh, a Chartered Accountant and seasoned C-suite executive, Pop-Up CEO offers high-level expertise without the constraints of a permanent hire.

Hi, I’m Connor Walsh

Are you looking for a C-suite executive with extensive local and international experience—a trusted expert who understands every aspect of business strategy, growth, finances and operations?

From navigating complex financial landscapes to designing agile growth strategies, facing challenges in today’s business world can feel like a minefield. And sometimes, you need someone who can come in with a fresh, expert perspective.

I am a Chartered Accountant and experienced business leader, having run my own high-growth SME and been a CEO and CFO for many years. I would love to be able to help you to achieve your business and life goals.

Over the years I have developed these key skills in my various roles and responsibilities—business ethics, strong communication, strategic planning, financial planning and reporting, developing positive organisational culture and employee wellbeing, workplace safety, corporate governance and compliance, and process and business improvement. 

In recent years I have come to appreciate the importance of a balanced lifestyle, focusing on my physical, emotional and mental wellbeing whilst still managing the day-to-day expectations of being a C-suite executive. It was important for me to extend this approach to my colleagues by implementing a number of effective employee wellbeing initiatives.

I have a strong belief in the power of giving back. As a volunteer for Marine Rescue for many years and, more recently for the Making Waves Foundation, I find it both extremely rewarding and a profound learning experience. The ability to work effectively in diverse teams completely outside my day-to-day business activities, I believe, makes me a more empathetic leader.
