We are ambitious, future thinking and problem solving

I’m Cormac O'Neill, CEO and Co-Founder of Webio, my fourth start-up and by far and away the most exciting. I’ve worked in many sectors over the past 20+ years including telecommunications, retail, financial services, and travel gaining priceless experience along the way. Starting a business is both exciting and challenging in equal measure and core to success is a great team focused on a noble mission. We have that in spades here at Webio. My role is simply to set the right tempo and create a culture that will enable our team to shine.

I understand the impact that financial wellbeing can have on a person’s mental health, as an entrepreneur I have had my fair share of financial challenges and at Webio we are striving to make those difficult conversations about money that little bit easier for everyone concerned.

While entrepreneurship flows through my veins, I have my parents to thank for my educational background. I’m a qualified CIMA accountant with a Degree in Accounting from Ulster University and awarded a full MBA scholarship from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, majoring in finance. My educational background has been a rock that I’ve leaned on throughout my career and serves me well today.

On my downtime I’m an avid amateur gardener, not exactly rock and roll I agree, but there is nothing more satisfying then planting seeds and seeing them grow. I would highly recommend it.

Mark Oppermann co-founder of Webio has responsibility for driving business growth through sales and marketing. He has over 20 years' experience in delivering transformational customer engagement solutions to some of the most successful businesses in the UK, Ireland, and wider EU, with several of his projects winning industry awards.

Mark is passionate about understanding the key drivers of a business before getting any technology involved as this allows for a wider enterprise appreciation for the best solution needed to deliver maximum value to both the business and its customers.

Mark's approach is always to get the whole team involved, starting with simple solutions and iterate, iterate along the way to complexity. His favourite saying to clients is "If you make it easy for your customers to engage don't be surprised when they do it lots".

Prior to Webio, Mark was Sales Director at VoiceSage, customer contact specialists. His background includes sales, marketing, general management at Pitney Bowes, and managing director of Netcom which rose to become a market leader in its field in over just three years

Mark is a keen golfer and loves red wine. :)

I am Paul Sweeney, Head of Product and a Co-Founder of Webio. I have worked in, for, and with software start-ups for over twenty years and always on the product story. Understanding where a market or industry is going and how this needs to be reflected in the product strategy is at the core of my professional life.

I see my role as having the right conversations with the right people, and then ensuring that we hold the integrity of the product vision. One of my favourite sayings is “to go a short distance quickly, go on your own. To go a long way, you have to bring others with you”.

I have a research masters in Product Strategy from the University of Limerick and I’ve done a bit of lecturing and teaching, and I’ve found that the skills you pick up on this journey, the ones you thought were useless, often turn out to be the very skills and experiences that make the difference.

In my spare time, I read. I walk my dogs.

Delia Jones here, head of all things operational at Webio.

I joined the wonderful world of tech start-ups over 10 years ago from managing change within large enterprises. My role is to ensure our customers get the optimal experience, whether that is using the app, engaging with the Webio team or getting the benefits of their blended conversations. This covers onboarding and customer support, security and compliance and internal operations.

I love making things work, and making them work better, and that's exactly what I do at Webio. When I'm not at Webio, I'm either down the allotment, reading a book or building lego.

Ben has 20+ years of experience in innovation, strategic planning, and change management. His strategic focus is to maintain a broad view of the emerging technologies, development theories and practices evaluating each to discern which of those provide value and are worth adopting.

He has a background in evaluating technology and its trajectory, developing policies and programmes to ensure robust, secure and scalable technology, recruiting and managing key technical staff, ensuring contracts align with technical needs, budgeting for technical infrastructure and development, and ensuring deliverables are met.
