They have head hunted Mike O’Callaghan to be COO. Mike was until recently head of the European Development Centre for Oracle and prior to that head of Localisation for Microsoft.

BABEL will run data centre operations and support out of Dublin and book all their EU revenue through Ireland.

Sorry to hijack your space.

But, you might be interested in the next NW Startup 2.0 event in Manchester UK. Please visit http://www.nwstartup20.co.uk for further detail. This event is free to attend. Last event was attended by Irish entrepreneur Paul Segala. We plan to extend the May 07 event to include international speakers. It would be great if we can have Irish presence.

Many thanks
