Treasa Keegan

Treasa Keegan graduated from Maynooth University with a degree in Computer Science and Software Engineering as the Celtic Tiger neared its peak, but unlike many, she faced her greatest challenge before the economy tanked. Treasa recalls, “I took a job with French bank BNP Paribas right out of college managing their computer systems in Dublin. On 7/7, I was at work when a terror attack struck London and we lost our connectivity. For two and a half days, I worked and slept at the office. It was exhausting, but I learned a great deal.”

Treasa’s mental toughness was settled and she was given the opportunity to move to the trading side of BNP where she now manages interest rate risk. With her academic background in computer science and a strong track record in trading, she has also taken up an interest in blockchain, which melds the two disciplines together.

“Getting back in touch with Maynooth University has been a real treat, especially volunteering with the Computer Science Advisory Group.” Treasa added, “One of the biggest lessons that I think many of us have learned is that our career paths are rarely straight and predictable.
