Meet our team

Blarney Ventures is in the business of execution. We partner with our clients to imagine, design, implement, and acquire customers that facilitate corporate growth. In a world full of "sales consultants," there is a need for a team to not only talk about the right way to implement sales and marketing tactics, but also to jump in the trenches with our clients and work alongside them. What separates Blarney Ventures from the rest is action.
