CEO · Founder · Strategic Leader
I build businesses and the teams that run them. Over 15 years I've founded and scaled a company to European market leadership, run a $400m+ global P&L at one of the world's largest academic publishers, and helped a portfolio of growth-stage technology companies find their footing — and their next gear. Based in Galway, Ireland.
