More about Andy ->

Following a deep technical grounding, with a decade of writing software at Apple, in January 2020, as a start-up CEO, I led the exit for shareholders of KM Medical | iMedDoc, an Enterprise Ireland backed HPSU, to Clanwilliam Health.

In March 2020 I joined Pharmapod, and I was thrilled to work with a remarkable team for a year on their fundraise, re-organisation and global expansion.

I’m keen on SaaS, medtech and deep tech start-ups and do an amount of consulting & seeding with growth hungry companies.

In a small amount of spare time I write and talk about technology. I host RTE’s Future Now, Future Next, write the technology column for the Irish Mail on Sunday and I join Matt Cooper every week on TodayFM’s, The Last Word, for Tech Tuesday.
