Meet The Team

Blurtit.com's success is thanks to our millions of users worldwide who contirbute by asking and answering questions. It has also been made possible thanks to our highly talented team who work hard behind the scenes:

1. Tim O'Shea

   Managing Director

   Tim studied Engineering at Oxford University. Since graduating in 1995 he has enjoyed a variety of interesting career roles - from a 'Trek Travel Leader' organizing trekking expeditions all over the world, to working specifically with online/Internet sources. He went on to create Mindcom and soon began work creating an impressive online question and answer community. In 2006 his hard work paid off and Blurtit.com was born.

   As Managing Director, Tim works closely with Kathryn Wright, to ensure the company is following the right strategy and engaging with Business Development. Tim's vision is an instantaneous high quality question-based search, and he is striving for this through the ongoing development of Blurtit.com and a host of other new Q&A opportunities.

   In his spare time, Tim enjoys spending time with his family who are local to Norfolk. He's also a keen Kite-Surfer and Skier.

2. Kathryn Wright

   Kathryn is responsible for the hands-on management of Blurtit.com. She gained 9 years of experience in customer service and sales prior to joining Blurtit a year ago. It is with this experience that she is able to quickly spot the developments which need to take place in order to ensure that Blurtit.com does exactly what you Blurters need it to.
