We are proud to announce that our CEO, Kieran Kelly, has successfully graduated from the “Help to Grow” program at Queen’s University Belfast and the William J. Clinton Leadership Institute at Queen’s Business School. A huge thank you to Sean McColgan and his team for delivering such a valuable and inspiring program.

Leadership and the Startup Journey

Leadership can often feel extreme, and the start-up rollercoaster brings challenges that test resilience and vision. The “Help to Grow” program makes scaling a business achievable by breaking it into practical, bite-sized activities that offer every entrepreneur a roadmap for success.

For Kieran, returning to structured learning after 25 years made this achievement especially meaningful, the program proved refreshing, challenging, and rewarding in equal measure.

Building Strong Foundations

Queen’s University Belfast is recognised as a centre of excellence, and this course strengthens the very foundations of business leadership. It equips entrepreneurs with the tools and confidence to build, transform, and accelerate growth.

Equally inspiring was the cohort of Northern Ireland businesses who shared their experiences throughout the program, proving that no entrepreneur faces these challenges alone.

Looking Ahead

Investing in Northern Ireland’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is paying dividends, and ubloquity is proud to be part of the Queen’s University Belfast and Clinton Leadership Institute alumni network.

Congratulations once again to our CEO, Kieran Kelly, on this achievement, and here’s to applying these insights as we continue to scale ubloquity.
