The American expat granddaughter of a reluctant emigrant, she is passionate about job creation on the island of Ireland. "We must export our intellectual property, not our children. Certainly not the first generation reared in peace". Eve founded Empowering Change, a professional consultancy, in 2008.  More recently, Eve has helped create Neo Ireland Ltd, a social enterprise founded in 2012, to address the systemic and cultural changes a post-conflict society requires to create sustain change in difficult times. The mission is to drive a prosperity process by empowering people in creating their own employment and in "turning ideas into livelihoods".

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*
