Customer communication solutions provider Mail Metrics has appointed former Version 1 chief executive Tom O’Connor as chairman of its board.

Tom brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in the technology sector. 

During his time at IT services firm Version 1, he held a range of senior roles before becoming chief executive in 2017.

He succeeds Martin Cullen, who served as chairman for the past three years.

Tom said: “I’m honoured to join Mail Metrics as chairman. 

“The company’s ambition and drive together with its focus on innovation in customer communication management aligns strongly with my own passion for helping Irish firms achieve international scale through technology-driven transformation. 

“I look forward to working closely with the leadership team and MML Capital Ireland to support the next stage of growth.” 

Nick Keegan, chief executive of Mail Metrics, added: “Tom O’Connor’s leadership experience and track record of delivering transformation at scale make him an exceptional asset to Mail Metrics.
