ADVENTURES UNLOCKED



some of the faces behind the scenes





Aidan Foley



Founder & CEO



Professionally Aidan has spent over 20 years working with Diageo, mostly in ‘frontier marketing’ where entirely new solutions are required to solve identified problems. In 2011 he co-founded a tech company with a long-time colleague where they worked on delivering bespoke solutions to major organisations such as Capita Symonds (London), Ulster Bank (Dublin), and the Irish education system (various). His leisure time is entirely in boating and he's organised several major domestic and international powerboat races.



Stuart Walker



Founder & COO



One of the most respected professionals in commercial sporting and cultural sectors. He’s also a Business Development Consultant for Penningtons Manches law-firm. He exclusively handled commercial rights to 3 x FIFA World Cups, the Football League, the Welsh and Scottish Rugby Unions, and the first professional British Lions Rugby Tour to South Africa.

A senior-level operator in sports and entertainment with companies such as Manchester United, Nike, Celador and WWE.

At Avid, Ross was responsible for all contract negotiations which saw them publish mobile games on behalf of the NFL, NBA, F1 and Discovery Channel. Ross has also worked on behalf of McLaren F1, Aston Martin and Premiership Rugby. His expertise lies primarily in licensing and consumer products having overseen multi-million dollar P&L’s at many of the above.



sam santi



CTO



Existing software in the marine-technology sector may be solid, but it’s largely unsuited to our segment, and that’s where many of the problems we’re solving exist. For this reason that’s not what we’ve built our team around. Instead our team comes largely from the gaming sector, where intuitive and natural design is critical - combined with ensuring integrity of data at all times. This team is led by our internationally proven CTO - Sam Santi, an expert at system integration and a champion at getting the very best from a multi-skilled internal team of developers.



vicki o'donnell



Head of Marine Data



The area of marine data science is highly complex but critical to our solutions. Vicki is one of Europe’s leading information management specialists, having worked in this role for both the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and the United Nations. On the marine side she’s completed extensive work on coastal and marine geomatics with University College Cork and holds a degree from Trinity College Dubline in Natural Science.



peter dredge



Head of Marine Testing



A technical designer and competitive powerboat racer for over 30 years. He was the Royal Yachting Association’s (RYA) powerboat racing and motorboat manager for 14 years and was responsible for developing many of the safety standards and guidelines used today in all aspects of boating. Peter has won two World and three European Championships and has broken 21 World Speed and Endurance Records.
