Virginia Herlihy
CEO, Director and Founder
Virginia is the reason How Do You Do It exists.
She started the business in 2006 after realising there was little support available for professionals who wanted a fulfilling career and family life.
She’s been creating role models and advocating for gender equality ever since.
Virginia is a highly experienced executive and transition coach with 25+ years of parenting and caring under her belt. Often described by her clients as warm and engaging, Virginia has perfected the art of non-judgement coupled with supportive challenge.
As CEO of How Do You Do It, Virginia’s goal is to help others create conscious choice; to expand their thinking, make decisions that reflect their values, and reshape societal norms along the way.
Virginia is mum to Alex and Ben. She runs How Do You Do It with her business and life partner, Tim. She is an early-morning swimmer, fierce friend and avid world traveller. You’ll never find her too far from a cup of ‘proper’ English tea.
