Klearcom’s Liam Dunne announced in 2025 EY Entrepreneur of the Year shortlist

Liam Dunne, co-founder and CEO of Klearcom, has been announced in the shortlist for the 2025 EY Entrepreneur of the Year Ireland programme.

Having been in existence for 28 years and celebrating the theme of ‘Shape the Future with Confidence’, the world-renowned programme is once again recognising and championing entrepreneurship across the island of Ireland.

Liam, who has led Klearcom to become a global SaaS leader, has been named as a finalist in the Emerging category. He joins 23 other entrepreneurs in the running for the awards, the winners of which will be crowned in Powerscourt Hotel, Enniskerry, in November.

Headquartered in Waterford, Klearcom provides global contact centre testing solutions for multinational companies and is trusted by some of the world’s biggest brands across the pharma, financial services, consumer tech and telecommunications sectors.

Underpinned by its growing base of more than 340 carriers, Klearcom’s services and solutions cover more than 100 countries, as well as 100 languages and dialects – making it an industry leader.

Liam has driven the organisation since its inception, when he and his co-founders Mark Rohan and Satish Barot recognised the need for a global SaaS platform to support IVR and toll-free phone testing and support.

Speaking about his shortlisting, Liam said: “With so many innovative businesses and impressive entrepreneurs out there, it’s a great honour to be shortlisted for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year. In particular, this year’s theme about shaping the future with confidence really resonated with me and with what we stand for at Klearcom.

“Our aim is to disrupt and deliver for companies, guaranteeing the best experience not only for our customers but for their customers. That is something we are doing today with our truly global offering and will continue to do in the future as we further grow the business, extend our reach and make an impact.”
