Voxpro was founded above a pub in Cork city in 2002 and has since grown to have offices across the world providing backup to the customer operations of brands such as Airbnb, Google and Supercell.
The business was bought by Canadian company Telus International last year for an undisclosed sum.
Simon Bailie, Digital DNA’s Commercial Director, said:
“Dan Kiely is a great example of the entrepreneurial tech talent which this island produces by the bucket load. His story tells the tale of how he and his wife Linda have grown a business from a tiny office above a pub to a global player in a short space of time and is one which we’re hugely excited to hear.”
Dan is the latest addition to an international line-up of speakers across the two-day Digital DNA event.
“The event it is shaping up to be the best yet and will once again provide a brilliant platform for everybody – not just those in the tech industry – to learn from each other and prepare for the disruptive technologies which are around the corner.”
It will also feature Leo Johnson, Head of Disruption at PwC and co-presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Future Proofing; Jamie Bartlett, author of the best-selling book The Dark Net and presenter of BBC’s The Secrets of Silicon Valley; Quinn Buchanan from Leviathan Games, and one of the developers who worked on the original Grand Theft Auto; Rock Jacobs from Rebel of America, who worked on the recent Hollywood blockbuster Deadpool; and Dr Liberty Vittert, a regular contributor providing expert opinion into Big Data and the role it plays in the media, as well as public and government life.
Held in St. George’s Market from 19 – 20 June, Digital DNA will welcome these and a host of other speakers from some of the world’s biggest companies as well as some of Northern Ireland’s best homegrown tech talent.
They will deliver keynote speeches, take part in panel discussions, workshops and fireside chats to an audience which originates from across the technology sector and across the world.
