About Padraig

I was born in Ireland and moved to the US in 2013. I have over 25 years of experience building teams, developing strategies, and driving operations. I began my career as an Engineer and was quickly promoted to senior management where I was involved in acquiring two subsidiaries. After taking some time to travel I began my entrepreneurial journey and have since managed three startups, two of which involved acquisitions, and two of which involved successful exits.
