About Ciaran
I build things that last and grow.
I’m Ciaran Lyons—an operator and builder working at the intersection of people, systems, and growth.

The work
I'm Chief Operating Officer at Positive Intelligence, the mental fitness company founded by Stanford lecturer Shirzad Chamine. The PQ Program has reached over 250,000 participants, helping people spot the ways they self-sabotage and build mental muscles for greater performance and happiness.
Before stepping into operations, I spent a decade in growth and marketing, leading SEO and content at I Will Teach You To Be Rich, driving international growth at Sticker Mule, and building data-driven systems through my consultancy Quantify. Along the way, I picked up a Gold Lion at Cannes and taught digital marketing at General Assembly.
I'm especially interested in systems thinking, automation, and the places where small improvements compound into durable advantages.
