Arthur Doohan is an engineer by training, a banker by experience and an activist by choice. He took a joint degree in Engineering and Economics at Trinity College, Dublin just as Economics was morphing into a religion and personal computers were arriving on desks. A bit of a slow learner, he concluded after almost 2 decades of working in capital markets that banking was corrupt and corrupting and he left the City to pursue other opportunities. These have encompassed London residential redevelopment, a financial brokerage startup and a social regeneration program amongst others. During the GFC he worked on a mortgage remediation program that found financial but not political support in Ireland. He is a co-founder of ClampK, a London based anti-kleptocracy initiative of some notoriety and reasonable success. He has been collaborating with Ian Grigg for the last 6 years while also managing an innovative engineering hardware startup, a small Italian olive farm and a culturally challenging residential building project.
