Martina Dunphy

Martina Dunphy, International Living’s executive director, joined the group in October 2000. Originally from Kilkenny, Ireland, Martina came to work for International Living in Waterford, and has worked her way steadily up the ladder. Her horizons have broadened both within the group and geographically.

In January 2006, Martina took IL’s advice, packed bag and baggage, and moved to Panama City, where she managed International Living’s growing office in Casco Viejo. From this base, Martina managed International Living's local office operations in Panama, Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, and France. In February 2007, she returned to International Living’s head office in Waterford to take up the position of executive director.

Martina is a lifetime over-achiever, having graduated high school early, earned her business management degree at night, and won several awards in Ireland for her efforts and results. Martina continues her studies with the Chartered Institute of Management Accounting.
