John Kennedy talks to Richie Foley, SVP of Product and Design at LetsGetChecked, the Irish company that experienced over 800pc growth year-on-year in 2020. They rose to the coronavirus challenge, shipping over 1m Covid testing kits to date and recently announced the opening of their Dublin lab to expand their testing capabilities. Richie joined LetsGetChecked from Ryanair in March 2020, jumping in at a crucial time, as the company scaled its Covid-19 testing offering. He played an essential role in all this and, as a result, can provide insight into the challenges and successes of building and scaling such a product.
