Patrick McMahon
Managing Director
Patrick started his IT career in IBM in 1999. He has worked for some of the best-known IT services companies in Ireland including Moss, Calyx and Hibernia; in multinationals like Cito; and in government bodies like BIM.
His 20 years’ experience has seen him hold many roles from Helpdesk Manager to Service Delivery Manager and IT Programme Manager.
Patrick took this experience to start Loadstone in 2016, with a vision of providing IT planning, quality IT support with predictable cost, while removing the jargon that is so typical in the IT industry.
