He subsequently held such positions as western advertising director for Internet Appliance Network, chief revenue officer for Twelvefold Media, and area vice president of the western region for Quantcast.

These positions led to extensive experience in sales management that Mr. O’Sullivan brought with him to his current role as category lead of technology at Facebook. In his present position, he is responsible for communicating with and motivating team members around the world. He also maintains an active role with different charitable and for-profit organizations.
