Martina King's role as chief executive of AI-powered fraudbuster Featurespace, which is reportedly valued at hundreds of millions of euro, partly came about thanks to two men who also have Irish roots.
Born in England to parents who emigrated from Kildare, in 2011 King spent a year at an augmented reality startup, Aurasma, that was backed by Autonomy founder Mike Lynch, whose mother was from Tipperary.
