Dr. KAREN MOLONEY
Director, Moloney Minds
Dr Karen Moloney is a Chartered Psychologist, consultant, writer and speaker, and a Director of Moloney
Minds.
In 1986, conscious of the growing interest from HR in measuring competence at work, she founded Moloney and
Gealy with Norman Gealy. Moloney & Gealy grew through several recessions to a staff of 10 and 45 associates
and turned over £1m. Clients of Moloney & Gealy included many household names from the retail, manufacturing,
financial services and legal sectors, including the British Government, the NHS, GlaxoSmithKline, Volvo,
Philips, Centrica.
In July 2003, Moloney & Gealy closed and the partners each set up their own practices allowing them to
concentrate on their individual interests.
Karen's work over the past couple of years has included advising companies on attracting and retaining its
top talent, the building of emotional capital within organisations, the development of competency frameworks
as a culture change tool, and the creation of career and personal development opportunities to retain
individuals.
She has set up Moloney Minds in order to concentrate on thinking, writing, speaking and working with a smaller
group of select clients worldwide.
Karen is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
She has been a Chartered Psychologist since 1989 and is a founding member of the Association of Business
Psychologists. She is qualified to use all major psychometrics and is an active user of MBTI, FIRO B, 16pf and
others. She is also a regular contributor to the HR press and co-author of Using National Standards to Improve
Performance. She is currently preparing a book on the future of work and writing a novel.
