Claire McBride

Social Value Manager, Fujitsu

An optimist and human do-er, Claire McBride’s career has taken her from the creative energy of film and television to the fast paced world of international event management and the evolving landscape of technology. Across each chapter runs a consistent theme: a drive to open doors for others and create spaces where people can thrive. Claire believes leadership is about showing up with integrity, taking responsibility, and bringing people together to co create solutions that last.

As Social Value Manager for Northern Ireland, Claire works hand in hand with VCSE partners to design programmes that strengthen communities and support inclusive growth. Her dedication has earned her multiple national award nominations, including being shortlisted for multiple Women in Tech Excellence Awards and most recently as a Corporate Finalist for Transformational Leader of the Year at the Women in Business Awards 2026.
