Tommy Kearns: CEO and co-founder Xtremepush

In a year where many businesses have been content to tighten up their operations during the pandemic, Irish digital marketing software firm Xtremepush has maintained an expansionist policy across Europe and the US.

Co-founded by CEO Tommy Kearns and his business partner Kevin Collins in 2014, it completed the acquisition of Alchemetrics in June, a UK agency specialising in bespoke customer data platforms. This followed the 2018 acquisition of Emailcenter, a UK email service provider.
