About

Legal adviser to Valentia’s management team, Cian Crosbie, has had a varied but extensive career path. After completing his legal practice training he subsequently worked in Australia with a national law firm before returning to Ireland. On his movements Crosbie reveals: ‘The contrasting experiences were excellent and led me to my current role as general counsel with Valentia Technologies, which I have held since early 2013’. Crosbie takes pride in the growth, development and success of the legal team in a tough industry and challenging markets internationally. In the midst of this environment a highlight of his career is developing and leading a team that is professional, relevant and central to the success of a fast-paced international medical software company. Crosbie adds, ‘we are consistently challenged to add value to the wider Valentia organisation whilst maintaining standards, ensuring compliance and performing functions required from a legal team’. On a personal level Crosbie has played a central role in Valentia’s efforts and success in scaling its business internationally at a time when Valentia has needed to substantially scale its business over the past four years across several international jurisdictions. As Crosbie puts it, ‘achieving this in a structured and efficient way has proved challenging at times but we have overcome these by working closely with local partner organisations, advisors and clients to ensure that we have succeeded so that the business achieves its objectives the correct way’. Under Crosbie’s leadership the team have successfully navigated obstacles to achieve intended outcomes for the business within challenging timeframes.
