Entrepreneur. Writer. Speaker.
Sean Gallagher is an experienced entrepreneur, an inspiring speaker and best selling author of ‘SECRETS TO SUCCESS – Inspiring Stories From Leading Entrepreneurs’.
A former investor on the popular TV series ‘Dragons’ Den’ (Shark Tank in the US), Sean’s passion for business and entrepreneurship has fueled his own diverse range of entrepreneurial experiences in sectors from technology and pharma to commercial real estate.
Prior to that he was co-founder and former CEO, for over a decade, of Ireland’s largest home technology company, Smarthomes.
A University of Ulster MBA graduate and a former finalist in the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, Sean was one of the first investors on the popular Irish TV Show, Dragons’ Den (Shark Tank in the US).
Sean is also a director and shareholder in a number of businesses in the biotech and pharma engineering sectors in both Ireland and the US.
Sean views entrepreneurs and the owners of SME’s as unsung heroes. Through their risk-taking and ingenuity, they create jobs, are the driving force behind our economy and the glue that helps hold our communities together.
Inspired by their courage and driven by a desire to help encourage the next generation of entrepreneurs, Sean has written ‘Secrets to Success – Inspiring Stories from Leading Entrepreneurs’. This book has emerged over six year’s interviewing some of Ireland’s leading entrepreneurs for his weekly column in the Business Section of the Sunday Independent newspaper.
Honest and insightful, it is packed full of great advice and real-life insights, shared by the entrepreneurs themselves about their experience from start-up to success.
From a young age, Sean adopted principles of self-belief, determination and a positive mental attitude – principles that continue to guide him in his everyday life.
His passion for sharing these principles with others in order to empower them to build success in their own lives and in their organisations, shines through every presentation as he informs, inspires and motivates.
His deep understanding of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs as well as his unique and down to earth delivery style, makes him the ideal speaker for any event.
