Meet our keynote speaker 

Pat Phelan, Sisu Clinic

The Cork native began his entrepreneurial career when he started a roaming business called MaxRoam which in time morphed into internet of things player Cubic Telecom, which counts Audi among its investors and drives the digital connectivity of brands like Volkswagen, Woolworths and Skoda, to name a few.

It was during his second big exit – anti-fraud start-up Trustev, which was acquired by TransUnion in 2005 for $44m – that Phelan became a household name in Cork and globally, showing that a local boy can become a global player through gritty hard work and determination.

With Pat’s latest project, Sisu Clinic, he serves as CEO and co-founder; Sisu Clinic is a doctor-led cosmetic medicine destination offering a comprehensive range of advanced beauty treatments—including botox, dermal fillers, skin boosters, thread lifts, and more.

With 24 clinics globally, Sisu is committed to administering a human centric, empathic approach to care when administering bespoke, nonsurgical treatments based on patients; unique needs, desires and individual physiology.
