DUBLIN, IRELAND - I’m on Damien Mulley’s ones to watch in 2008. Deadly!

Robin Blandford.
Robin’s a genius. I could stop there but his energy and his drive and his creativity mark him out from the pack. He’s currently at Reuters and he’s doing some interesting things there and they’re sending him off to Singapore in the next while. I’m sure he might spend a little longer in the company but one day he’ll probably have a startup or two or three. Maybe one day two he’ll come back to Ireland and work here when the environment can handle multi-talented people like Robin without them getting bored.

Thank you very much. Can I respond now?

Damien Mulley
Damien is a ‘go-to-guy’. If you need something, try asking Damien first. He’ll know someone or some method of getting it done well. (”I could stop there but his energy and his drive and his creativity mark him out from the pack.” ditto.) He’s currently causing no end of trouble via Mulley Publishing Inc., a ‘Robin Hood’ of the digital age (eHood / vHood) if you will. (He fights with keywords and pageranks in the forest of Google. - stealing from the rich and giving to the poor). Not only is he doing some interesting things there but also in 2008 studying law, leading Paddy’s down valleys, writing for the Tribune, running Politics in Ireland, organising the Irish Blog Awards, speaking in London, and…. sometimes I wonder is there two of them? I haven’t even mentioned his actual job yet! Maybe one day too, he’ll launch his own Irish start-up (or work for one as ‘Chief Rain-Maker’) when the environment can handle forward-thinking people like Damien. No matter when he does it, his ideas will be ahead of their time.

Right, that’s the 2008 back-patting out of the way! 364 days left to live up to my reputation.
