• Work in partnership with other stakeholders such as civil society, other business sectors and global partners.

Tony Grimaldi, CEO of Cycleurope and President of Cycling Industries Europe welcomed Irene to the board: “One of the ambitions of Cycling Industries Europe is to represent the diversity of businesses in the cycling sector. I am delighted that See.Sense has been elected to our board with Irene McAleese as its representative, because she brings extensive experience in linking bicycle accessories to the digital and start-up sectors which are so important for the future of our industries. Her entrepreneurial background will really strengthen our team.”

“At See.Sense we believe that industry should come together to help grow the market for cycling.  I'm really looking forward to helping the voice of industry influence support for cycling in Europe”, says Irene McAleese.
