Mike Feerick
Mike Feerick is an Irish social entrepreneur, and CEO and founder of ALISON, an Ireland–based educational technology (also called e-learning) company which has delivered 60 million online lessons with some 250,000 graduates of its 500+ courses as of January 2013. He is an Ashoka Fellow and cited as a pioneer in the modern online education industry. Paul Glader noted that Feerick is 'a key figure in the open-source learning world and a rival of sorts to Salman Khan.'〔 ALISON has been identified by some as the first MOOC platform to be established, beginning in 2007, a year before the now popular phrase was even coined.〔〔 Feerick is also the founder of Ireland Reaching Out, a "reverse" genealogy project based in Ireland that seeks to establish and reconnect the Irish diaspora with their unknown ancestral roots in rural Ireland.〔
== Career ==
Born in New York but raised in Galway, Ireland, Mike Feerick's entrepreneurial efforts began young with the organising of student discos through high school and selling T-shirts in college. On graduation he sought a Harvard MBA but first gained an internship with philanthropist and early mentor Chuck Feeney. Feerick credits Feeney with helping to foster his particular interest in social entrepreneurship. "Working with Chuck, definitely gets you thinking money wasn't the most important thing. There's a social responsibility - if you feel able to do it."〔 Feerick subsequently successfully gained his MBA from Harvard.
Feerick has served as the Acting Managing Director of Interactive Investor International and has also held positions with Bertelsmann Music Group. He previously owned the franchise rights to JFAX Ireland which sold to Esat Telecom in 1999, a leading Irish telecommunications player. He is also founder and former CEO of Yac.com Limited, a web–based unified messaging telecoms provider.〔 Feerick sold Yac to Nasdaq-listed J2 Global Communications in 2007.
