Des Traynor
Des Traynor is the Irish co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Intercom, the customer messaging platform that became one of Ireland's most iconic tech exports. A systems thinker who grew up as the youngest of seven children in Dublin, Traynor traces his entire career back to an Amiga 500 his single mother bought him at age five. Today he oversees Intercom's R&D - product, engineering, and design - while steering the company's all-in bet on Fin, its AI customer service agent powered by Anthropic's Claude. A prolific speaker, essayist, and accidental philosopher who moonlights as a Phoenix Park runner, Traynor has become one of the most trusted voices in B2B product strategy.
