Leonora O'Brien is an Irish pharmacist and entrepreneur.[1][1][2] Having worked in pharmacy regulation,[1] she is the founder and chief executive officer of Pharmapod,[5][1][7] a cloud-platform for pharmacists and physicians to monitor safety of dispensing processes and drive the safe dispensing of medicines.[3][4][5][1][2] Ms. O'Brien has won a number of awards[2] for her business endeavours and is a leading voice in the field of women in business.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

Early life and career

O'Brien was born in Castlerea, County Roscommon.[5] O'Brien qualified as a pharmacist.[6] She worked in pharmacy regulation and policy development in both Ireland and the European Union.[5]

She moved out of Pharmacy regulation into the private sector in 2012, having noticed a gap in the market for inter-pharmacy interaction.[2][12][13]

Pharmapod

O'Brien developed the business case for Pharmapod in the 12-week-long LaunchPad entrepreneur hub at the National Digital Research Centre (NDRC) in Dublin in early 2012.[26] O'Brien founded Pharmapod in November 2012, as an online tool which assists pharmaceutical dispensaries (including doctors)[8] to keep track of and report anomalies, which can cause fatalities.[2][3] By 2014, Pharmapod was operating in Ireland, the UK (in a deal with the NHS)[3] and Kenya (a focus was put on the developing world, where the product was considered very useful, especially with a view to capturing trends in counterfeit medicines),[31] with an employee base of 10 people.[31][5] Seeking up to €5 million in December 2014,[14] by the end of 2017, Pharmapod had raised over €1.8 million in capital, with both institutional and angel investors.[1]

Awards and prizes

  • €5,000 prize fund at the Tech Entrepreneurs workshop in Dublin as part of the European Digital Agenda Assembly, June 2013[2]
  • European Laureate Cartier Women's Initiative Awards 2013 (€20,000 prize). (First Irish women to have been nominated in the category)[3][31][2][12][15][16][17]
  • Image magazine Entrepreneur of the Year[18][19]
