About

Damien Moynagh currently serves as the general counsel at UDG Healthcare plc, a leading international provider of services to the healthcare industry, employing almost 8,000 employees and operating across 23 countries including the US, Japan, the UK, Ireland and Germany. Taking on the new role as a general counsel at UDG Healthcare gave him the opportunity to gain invaluable experience working with a successful FTSE 250 company focused on accelerating growth through M&As in the US, continental Europe and Japan, regions where he had practiced as a corporate lawyer with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Maples and Calder. Prior to his current role, Moynagh served as a COO and general counsel at Sysnet Global Solutions, a leading global provider of information security assurance and compliance validation services. In his short time at UDG Healthcare, Moynagh has transformed the legal team from one made up of divisionally-based teams to a centralised Group function organised on a regional basis. Speaking on this change Moynagh reveals; ‘The objective is to ensure that all parts of the business are equally supported and that the knowledge base within the team is widened such that all lawyers are able to support all aspects of the business, while at the same time motivating and broadening the team’s experience.’ With his execution-focused mind set, Moynagh has become a core part of the UDG leadership team and, with his team, a true enabler of its organic and inorganic growth.
