Dublin based, energetic Entrepreneur, with 20 years experience as a business owner. Founded student cloud computing platform 'Campus.ie' in the year 2000. Built my marketing and advertising business 'Ground Marketing' to annual sales of €3m, and sold to global comms firm Havas in 2010. Headed up their comms group in Dublin before leaving the ad game for a more fulfilling life as an entrepreneur and business owner again. Now I'm owner at Snack Farm & shareholder at The White Hag Irish Brewing Company
I love the passion, drive and energy of start-ups. I'm obsessed with design & branding, strategy, new venture development, positive psychology, craft beer, comedy & live music . Frequently published, and occasional speaker.
I believe that we need to look backward, to move forward. I am focusing on food & drink, and innovations therein. As consumers we want everything easier, cheaper and faster. But we are confusing processing with progressing. Food should be consumed in a natural state. So this is the nature of the work I'm putting my energy into.
