Conor Sheridan is the founder and CEO of Nory, an AI-native operating system for the hospitality industry. A former quantitative trader and investment strategist, he left finance to build Mad Egg, one of Ireland's fastest-growing fried chicken chains, then created Nory to solve the operational problems he faced running restaurants. Nory now helps operators manage inventory, workforce, payroll, procurement and finance, and raised a $37m Series B in 2025 led by Kinnevik, bringing total funding to roughly $62.6m.
Shane Curran is the founder and CEO of Evervault, an encryption infrastructure company he started in 2018 after dropping out of University College Dublin three days into a business and law degree. A year earlier, at 16, he had won the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition with a post-quantum encrypted storage project called qCrypt. Evervault sells developer-facing tools that keep sensitive data - card numbers, health records, keys - encrypted while still being processed, running inside AWS Nitro Enclaves. The company has raised $46 million from Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures and Ribbit Capital, most recently a $25M Series B in March 2026.
Brett Robbins is the first chief executive of Snapfix, the Dublin-born software company that turns a photo and a QR code into a work order for the world's buildings, hotels, and equipment. Appointed in June 2024 by founders Paul McCarthy and Cathal Greaney, Robbins is a New York-trained operator with a Columbia degree in economics and anthropology and a career spent at the intersection of real estate, retail, and hospitality - including stints at Orchard, StayTerra, Neighborhoods.com, and Ohana Ventures. He believes service businesses should chase 'wow' rather than 'okay,' and that AI's job in maintenance is to quietly make managers' lives easier. Off the clock, he chairs the Economic Development Commission in Norfolk, Connecticut, the small town where a missing home internet connection turned him into a civic builder.
Geoffrey Mobisson is the Managing Director and CEO of Periti Digital, a HubSpot Elite Partner he leads from Dublin that ranked among the top-three HubSpot consultancies globally in 2024. An MIT-trained electrical engineer with a Harvard MBA, he spent three decades building technology services firms - co-founding the Salesforce consultancy Levementum in 2006 - before turning his attention to the HubSpot ecosystem. Outside the boardroom he is president of Save Our Schools Arizona, a public-education advocacy group. Periti has served 400+ customers across offices in Dublin, Lisbon, Munich and Rotterdam, opening its first North American office near HubSpot's Cambridge headquarters in 2026.

Eoghan McCabe is an Irish technology entrepreneur born in Dublin in 1984, best known as the co-founder and CEO of Intercom — the AI-first customer service platform he founded in 2011 alongside Des Traynor, Ciaran Lee, and David Barrett. After building Intercom into a $1.3B+ unicorn over its first decade, McCabe stepped down as CEO in 2020 due to a neurological autoimmune disorder, then dramatically returned in October 2022, just weeks before ChatGPT launched. Within six weeks he had a prototype of Fin, Intercom's AI agent, and proceeded to cut roughly 40% of staff and redirect the entire company toward AI — a bet that paid off: Intercom hit an estimated $343M in revenue in 2024 (+25% YoY), raised $125M from Kleiner Perkins and $250M in debt from Hercules Capital (March 2026), and recorded its largest-ever quarter by net new ARR in Q1 FY2026.

MOIO (Moyo Mobolaji) is a Nigerian-Irish singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Dublin whose 2023 single 'Moments' went viral in late 2024 - racking up 19M+ Spotify streams and hitting #1 on Spotify's Viral 50 in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Norway, Denmark, and New Zealand. His debut EP 'Earthday' (October 2025) announced him as one of Ireland's most compelling new artists, blending R&B warmth with indie introspection and self-produced bedroom-pop textures. A co-founder of the Chamomile Club collective in Dublin, he now performs internationally and is signed to Republic Records.
