Naomi McMahon is the New York director of the VIA Group, a prestigious integrated marketing agency headquartered in Portland, Maine and voted one of the top 100 advertising agencies in the U.S.  McMahon is a native of Dublin, and received a bachelor’s degree from Trinity College in Dublin. She originally moved to Milwaukee in 2003 to accept a position at Harley-Davidson Motor Company, and she returned to the U.S. in 2005 as a marketing executive with Irish government agency Enterprise Ireland in New York. 

 

McMahon is a member of several Irish groups in New York. She is the co-chair of the Trinity College New York Alumni Association, and the chair of the All-Ireland New York Pan-Alumni Association. She is also an American Ireland Fund Young Leader, a member of the Irish Network New York City (IN-NYC), and the Irish International Business Network. 

“Being Irish is an inherent part of my DNA. It’s in the stories I read and share, the music I listen to, the designs I love to wear and the many vibrant organizations and communities I’m involved in,” McMahon says. 

“Having lived away from home for a number of years now, I have gained an even greater appreciation of the unique richness of Irish culture and creativity, and the importance of an incredibly strong family connection. 

“The warmth extended to Irish people by the greater New York community and beyond is amazing. It is one which has made my journey here thus far a thoroughly rich, enjoyable and well traveled one!”
