Tim Herlihy
Co-owner, Director & COO
Tim isn’t your average COO, despite this executive history.
He lives by four pillars of success: family/relationships, career, health, and hobbies/interests. Tim has long dedicated himself to role modelling ‘another way’—the way of men visibly and successfully combining family, career and life.
Tim is a seasoned CFO and sponsor of large-scale change and business transformation. He’s highly attuned to the changing nature of business and work, using key insights to evolve How Do You Do It in line with client needs.
Running How Do You Do It alongside his business and life partner, Virginia, Tim is deeply invested in reshaping the norms and expectations of parents globally.
As dad to Alex and Ben, Tim has indulged in his fair share of interesting tales and dad jokes. He is mad about (most) sports, loves a good red and has a wonderful knack of seeing the upside to just about any situation.
