Griffith College Professional Excellence Award Presented to Workvivo Founders John Goulding and Joe Lennon

Griffith College was delighted to present this year's Professional Excellence Award to Workvivo co-founders John Goulding and Joe Lennon, recognising their outstanding entrepreneurial achievements and significant contribution to workplace technology.

John and Joe founded Workvivo in Cork with a vision to transform how organisations connect, engage and communicate with their employees. Under their leadership, the company grew into a globally recognised employee experience platform, helping organisations foster stronger workplace cultures and more meaningful employee engagement.

Their success reached a major milestone when Workvivo was acquired by Zoom in 2023, a landmark deal that brought the Irish-founded platform to one of the world's leading communications technology companies. The acquisition highlighted the global impact of their innovation and cemented Workvivo's position as a leader in the future of work and employee experience technology.

The Professional Excellence Award celebrates individuals who have achieved exceptional success in their professions while inspiring others through leadership, vision and innovation. John and Joe's journey from ambitious entrepreneurs to founders of a globally recognised technology company is a powerful example of what can be achieved through determination, creativity and a commitment to excellence.

Their story continues to inspire students, graduates and aspiring entrepreneurs, demonstrating the potential of Irish innovation on the international stage.

Griffith College extends its warmest congratulations to John Goulding and Joe Lennon on this well-deserved recognition. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and the lasting impact they have made on the world of workplace technology and entrepreneurship.
