About Ronan Kearney
Ronan Kearney is a New Yorker by way of Dublin, a dual citizen shaped by two cultures that value storytelling, resilience, and a well-timed sense of humor.
New York is home. His parents and extended family are on the Emerald Isle, never far from mind.
Outside of work, Ronan is an active athlete and a lifelong student of philosophy. Both shape how he leads. He believes the most capable leaders are rarely one-dimensional. The best operators he has known are also readers, builders, artists, or athletes, people whose curiosity and discipline extend well beyond the work they’re paid to do.
Ronan lives accordingly: traveling widely across Europe and the Americas, catching rock concerts whenever he can, wandering through art museums wherever he finds himself, and staying endlessly curious about how other cultures build, create, and innovate.
Ronan lives in New York City and welcomes conversations with executives, boards, and organizations facing meaningful challenges that need serious solutions. He is also available for speaking engagements, podcasts, and select media appearances.
Music & Writing
Ronan is a guitarist, vocalist, and writer who has been creating and recording music for years across multiple projects. In addition to recording his own music, Ronan is also in the process of editing his father’s memoir, which details how he was carried from rural Ireland to London, New York, and home again. To Ronan, music and writing are not simply side interests: they are lifelong passions.
AudioAmor was a New York City rock and roll band formed by Ronan Kearney around groove, melody, rhythm, and emotion. The quartet recorded and released a full-length album of original music, sold online through iTunes, and played New York rooms including Bowery Electric, The Bitter End, Crash Mansion, and the Rethink Pop Music Festival. The band eventually ended as life moved on, but the record remains available and continues to find new listeners.
NOEN SKY is Ronan Kearney’s new music project, developed in off-hours through digital studio techniques and a more atmospheric, less guitar-driven vision. Inspired by artists such as Tycho, Tame Impala, Daniel Lanois, and Brian Eno, yet rooted in a lifelong love of classic melodic rock, it explores cinematic songs and evocative soundscapes shaped by guitars, vocals, and atmosphere.
