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.
