Tired of hearing the same old pitch — free van, 24/7 access, best price? So is your customer.
William O’Brien is a Cork-based entrepreneur who spent 30 years scaling businesses — from cranes and wind turbines across four continents to four self-storage sites in Cork and Dublin. In 2023, after exiting the crane industry, he booked a one-way ticket to Beirut, seeking a reset — and came home with a mission.
He launched SeeMySkills.org, a social enterprise helping people with disabilities find meaningful employment through school-based programs and real job placements. Now 57 and a father of five, William is proving you can grow a business and leave a legacy — at the same time.
