There are two kinds of computer users. The ones who spend too much time managing files, and the ones who ignore the problem completely. We're definitely the former—we love to mess about with files.
But as we create more and more digital content and send it out to live on the web, it becomes harder to keep track of where our files are, and what we do to them. We're bloggers, photographers, podcasters, and music hounds. We have stuff everywhere!
So, we made PutPlace. We figured we deserve an easier way to manage our digital lives and to share parts of it across the web. We hope by making PutPlace that we’re helping to make your digital lives happier and less cluttered too.
Management
Joe Drumgoole - CEO and Founder
Joe is a start-up guy with more than 20 years experience bringing engineering teams together to build innovative software products from scratch. He created and ran product development groups at Irish start-ups Cape Clear Software and CR2 before spending a couple of years with Oracle's European Development Centre while his youngest cut his teeth. Joe likes being back in start-up mode with PutPlace.
Katherine Lucey - Chief Operating Officer
International software marketing is de rigueur for Katherine who most recently worked with Irish start-up SteelTrace. SteelTrace was sold to Compuware in $20 million in 2006. Katherine's also worked with Openet Telecom and the Irish Software Association. She enjoys being the creative, resourceful voice of reason at PutPlace.
PutPlace Board
Mike O'Callaghan - Chairman

He's been the VP and GM of Oracle's Euro Development Centre, and Chairman of Oracle's main operating company in Europe. He also led Microsoft's Euro Product Development Center back in the day. He's currently COO at Babelgum.
Brian Caulfield
Brian knows a thing or two about tech start-ups. He co-founded Exceptis Technologies—his first start-up—in 1992 where he was CEO and CTO. After selling Exceptis to Trintech Group in 2000, he co-founded two more venture capital backed software start-ups before becoming a VC himself with Trinity Venture Capital, in Dublin, Ireland. Brian joined the PutPlace board in 2006. He also sat on the board of SteelTrace Ltd., which was purchased for $20 million by US-based CompuWare earlier this year. Brian was the 2007 recipient of the Irish Software Association "Technology Person on the Year".
Pat Lynch
Pat is a fount of knowledge when it comes to financing and growing new businesses. He's worked as a senior financial manager with big fish like Seagate Technology and Summit Technology, but, this serial investor knows start-ups too. He founded Microtech Cleanroom Services and continues to invests in high-potential tech start-ups—like PutPlace.
