The biggest digital change agent Richard McGuinness, VP of Sales EMEA at ClickUp

The tech sector is in upheaval at the moment resulting in job losses. However, there is one tech company that is bucking this trend, the tech unicorn ClickUp. Since starting in 2017 they have had a meteoric rise and opened its European HQ in Dublin last year. Ronan talks to Richard McGuinness, who heads up their Ireland office and is also their VP of Sales EMEA.

Richard talks about his background, the pandemic, bringing yourself to work, portfolio management, what ClickUp does and more.

About ClickUp
