The 2026 St. Conleth’s College Business Lunch
Ken Cahill (cl/o 1999) is the former CEO and co-founder of SilverCloud Health, which he scaled into a leading global digital mental health platform with operations in Boston, Dublin, and London. Over multiple funding rounds, Ken raised more than $30 million from a combination of Irish and U.S.-based venture capital and strategic investors, supporting the company’s international growth and clinical validation strategy.
Under his leadership, SilverCloud delivered evidence-based digital therapeutic programmes to more than 2 million people worldwide, demonstrating measurable improvements in clinical outcomes while expanding access to care and lowering delivery costs. In 2021, SilverCloud Health was acquired by Amwell (NYSE: AMWL) for over $250 million.
Following the acquisition, Ken joined Amwell as Chief Behavioral Health Officer, where he was responsible for behavioral health operations across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, working at scale within a public company environment.
He is an alumnus of the Leadership for Growth programme (Class of 2010) and was named one of MedTech Boston’s 40 Under 40. Ken holds a Bachelor of Science in Computing and IT, a Diploma in New Business and Entrepreneurship, and is a Chartered Board Director, awarded by the Institute of Directors (IoD).
