I worked with Darragh from 2018 until I left Udemy in 2025. He was one of the most empathetic, genuine and supportive managers I've had. He consistently advocated for design, created space for us to thrive, and led with clarity and integrity.

It's not every day you get to work with someone like Darragh. From the beginning, his energy, empathy, and strategic mindset had a clear and positive impact on our team. He played a key role in building the design team in Dublin — not just by hiring great people, but by creating a culture where everyone felt supported and encouraged to grow.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Darragh, and I can confidently say he is one of the most inspiring leaders I've ever met. He wasn't just a manager to his own team—he was a true leader for the entire organization. Darragh genuinely cares about people. He always made time to support, guide, and uplift those around him, regardless of title or department.

Having Darragh as a manager truly transformed my career. From day one, I admired his authentic communication style and dedication to building a design team that's not only super talented but also focused and collaborative.
