Michael O'Brien
Co-Founder & CMO
Mike brings over 12 years of experience in entrepreneurship, sales, marketing, and leadership across startups and high-growth ventures. His career began in the Alberta oil sands, working directly alongside welders — an early experience that gave him first-hand insight into the challenges and opportunities facing the industrial and inspection sectors.
Since then, Mike has founded and scaled multiple companies, building expertise in business operations, fundraising, and go-to-market strategy. He has led sales and marketing organizations of 50+ people, grown ventures from zero to significant recurring revenue, and successfully navigated both startup exits and corporate leadership roles.
At Weld Done, Mike leverages this background to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world inspection needs, helping ensure the platform delivers measurable value for inspection teams and enterprise clients alike.
