About Ciaran

I build things that last and grow. In the past, websites and communities; lately, teams and companies. Every day, mental fitness.
I'm currently Chief Operating Officer at Positive Intelligence, the leading online mental fitness training company founded by Stanford lecturer Shirzad Chamine. We've engaged more than 1 million participants in discovering how they self-sabotage and building mental muscles to maximize both performance and happiness.
Before stepping into operations, I spent a decade in growth and marketing, leading SEO and content at I Will Teach You To Be Rich, driving international growth at Sticker Mule, and building data-driven systems through my consultancy Quantify. Along the way, I picked up a Gold Lion at Cannes and taught digital marketing at General Assembly.
I'm especially interested in systems thinking, automation, and the places where small improvements compound.
