Husband, Father (to 5 kids). Grew up in Glenfarne, Leitrim, Ireland, in the family pub. Arsenal & Celtic fan. Retired Gaelic Footballer. Former pool shark.
Lives in Glasgow, Scotland.
Tinkers with technology and curious about building businesses that scale long term.
Graduated with a B.Sc. Applied Computing in 1993, considered accountancy, learned corporate world at Microsoft, building the early versions of Encarta for Europe. Grew up working on a few startups, earning plenty of scars and learning. Went back to the corporate world, leading a team in Amazon in the wonderful world of Adtech – which also felt like a bootcamp in how to actually run a business. Had an eventful few months commuting to Paris trying to turn around another Adtech company. Went into Private Equity with Scaleworks and turned around a stalled business called Earth Class Mail within 588 days which ended up in a strategic acquisition.
