I currently live in Chicago and work at Telnyx. I grew up in Galway, Ireland, and studied at both NUI Galway and the University of Notre Dame.

Things I’m involved with and areas of interest:
- Marketing/Growth: Currently lead Telnyx’s global Marketing and Website functions.
- Startups: Ambition is to serve as head of growth at a fast-paced, technology-first business.
- Thinking AI-first: With the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, I’ve been working towards developing an outline of what a best-in-class growth team, particularly marketing, looks like in the future to adapt to technology now available out of the box.
- Check out my public writing and projects over at buildaifirst.com.
- Growth Engineering: Necessity is the mother of invention. Constraints are frequently a benefit. My thought process is first to always question how can I use what I have access to to overcome the pressing challenge. From patching together tools, to developing a solution in code from first principles, building can frequently be better than buying to solve the problem at hand. Learning Python and Airflow on the fly to address attribution and data warehousing challenges was one of my favorite experiences.
- Demand Generation: Few things can beat finding a clever way of identifying an audience or finding a particular channel to press their pain point.
- Revenue-Operations: Have consulted for YC startups and set up the foundational growth infrastructure for Telnyx’s growth team. From Salesforce, to Marketo and all the S&M integrations in between, I’ve designed, set up and successfully rolled out new foundational processes.
- Fundraising: Been involved in the creation/maintenence of pitch-decks, developing organizational-specific metrics and servicing data rooms for successful fundraising rounds.
- Product Management: Always looking to learn more here beyond just “project management”. As an engineer, my brain is always drawn towards the “how” questions around products, and increasingly interested in how best-in-class PMs function and make decisions.
- Sports:
- Miltown GAA, Padraig Pearse GAA, Maigh Cuilinn GAA
- Manchester United fan (to my detriment)
- Actively run, play gaelic football and basketball
