About
I’m Kevin Daly, a senior corporate affairs and communications leader with 20+ years’ experience across Ireland and Australia. I advise CEOs and senior executives on media relations, issues and crisis communications, strategic narrative, and corporate reporting—especially in highly regulated, reputationally sensitive environments where sound judgement and discretion are essential.
I’ve led executive profiling and spokesperson preparation, managed issues preparedness and response under tight timeframes, and shaped clear external messaging for major announcements and sector commentary. Most recently, I held senior roles at National Australia Bank (NAB), supporting Business & Private Banking and Digital, Data & Technology leadership, and earlier I led reputation-protecting communications at Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and advised organisations through complex crises at Porter Novelli.
