LIBS x London Irish Centre: Unedited
Unedited: The Truth About Getting It Wrong
On 12 November, join the London Irish Business Society and the London Irish Centre for Unedited: The Truth About Getting It Wrong — a candid conversation with four leaders who know that success rarely follows a straight line.
This year’s panel brings together:
Joanna Murphy - CEO, Sprintax & Taxback.com
A leader in tax technology and international compliance, Joanna oversees global teams and operations. Her career includes turning setbacks into strategy, leading through ambiguity, and growing businesses that operate in regulated, high-pressure environments.Lisa (Dowling) Clarke - Founder, Rowdy Studio
A creative entrepreneur who built an award-winning branding agency from scratch. Lisa has navigated the growing pains of scaling a business while holding onto vision, values, and clients who expect bold thinking.John O’Brien - Head of Legal (Data Protection & AI), Revolut
A lawyer who swapped law firms for hyper-growth fintech. John helped build Revolut’s data and AI legal function from the ground up, steering through regulation, rapid expansion and the realities of making judgment calls when the rulebook doesn’t exist yet.Philip Brophy - Co-Founder & CEO, PushMe
With two decades in business development across tech and diagnostics, Philip knows what it means to pivot. Before building PushMe, he scaled revenue lines into the millions at Phonovation - not without missteps, hard resets and lessons that only come from trying, failing, and trying again.
We’ll talk openly about the projects that stalled, decisions that backfired, the near-misses, and the conversations that followed. From early career detours to business pivots and lessons learned the hard way - this isn’t a talk about getting it right. It’s about what happens when you don’t, and how progress is always messier than it looks.
