ABOUT

CEO of Paces, Agentic Development for Power & Infrastructure. Our AI agents develop projects end-to-end, from siting & permitting to power & design, compressing timelines from years to weeks. Whether the project is a hyperscale data center, a manufacturing plant, or a housing development, Paces automates the development stack at scale. I also host the Built, Repeat podcast where I have long-form conversations with energy and cleantech experts.

In the past I was the founder of Hale, a personal training marketplace. I also held leadership positions at Respondent, a market research marketplace and was employee #1 at Hello Vera, an AI chatbot startup acquired by Google. Before that, I sold data and software solutions to quant hedge funds and asset managers. I grew up on an organic farm in Co. Mayo Ireland. I read philosophy at St Andrews and NUI, Galway. I was in Soldier Stadium when Ireland beat New Zealand in rugby.
