Cian McLoughlin from Trinity Perspectives is one of those Irish guys you could listen to forever. He left Island in 1998 to see the world and met his wife to be on Fraser Island and made Australia his home. He did some comedy writing and finally settled into sales. 

He worked for one of the largest software companies in the world - SAP - and enjoyed what he did but kept seeing an opportunity to better understand why deals were made.

He started his own consulting company which specialises on Win/Loss Analysis.
