“I qualified during the downturn when the Big Four were cancelling apprenticeships, so I was fortunate to have interned at McGrath the year before,” says Treanor, who subsequently moved to EY as an audit supervisor and then to PwC in New York in a similar role.
“Yahoo turned out to be a very crazy ride,” she says. “Headcount went from 7,000 to 15,000 while I was there but then there were five rounds of lay-offs. The Yahoo-versus-Google battle was going on and every quarter there seemed to be something big happening, like us appointing a new CEO, Microsoft trying to buy us and us trying to acquire Facebook.
In 2010, Treanor moved to Virgin America as director for financial reporting and also returned to college to do an MBA at the University of California, Berkeley. “The MBA was a safe environment in which to take risks instead of on the job and it really gave me confidence in my leadership skills,” Treanor says.
