Born in Ireland, Ronan had a love of sport and numbers from a young age. He started to put it to good use at thirteen, supplementing his pocket money through sports gambling. A degree in maths followed before he was part of the founding team at Matchbook.com. He then helped to grow Paddy Power from a  small Irish business into the world's biggest online gambling company. Fast forward a few years and now he's placing a bet of a different kind. He's betting on the value of knowledge through the launch of the freelance platform, Dosen.io.
