Hubert Patrick Grealish

Director / Head of Marketing & Communications

Brand, Growth & Go-To-Market Leadership

I am a senior marketing and communications leader with over two decades of international experience across technology, FMCG, mobility, lifestyle, and sustainability. I work closely with CEOs, founders, and leadership teams to clarify positioning, strengthen reputation, and deliver scalable go-to-market and growth strategies across global markets.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy, narrative, and execution. I am most effective in complex, high-stakes environments where expectations are high, scrutiny is real, and outcomes matter. I bring a combination of strategic clarity and hands-on delivery shaped by global HQ roles, high-growth contexts, and founder-level responsibility.

Across my career, I have led integrated brand, marketing, and communications programmes in 40+ countries, including global launches and reputation-led initiatives that scaled audiences from zero to over 30 million. I have experienced both early failure and later performance at scale, which informs a disciplined, resilient leadership style focused on learning, adaptation, and consistent execution.

I bring full-funnel leadership across brand, go-to-market, communications, and customer experience, with a strong emphasis on governance, credibility, and long-term enterprise value.

I am currently open to senior leadership, advisory, or non-executive opportunities in marketing, communications, brand, and growth. International and hybrid mandates considered.
