Sean McGrath is Comparitech’s Head of Content. With a technology journalism background, four years in the VPN space and nearly six years heading up content teams, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role.

From startups to global tech giants, he’s worked alongside the biggest names in the IT industry like Microsoft, Dell EMC, Deloitte, and Lenovo, helping them tell their stories in the most effective way possible. Sean says he thinks of himself as a writer first and foremost. He’s an ardent follower of Orwell’s Six Rules for Writing and his favorite quote is: Je n’ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n’ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.

In his spare time, you can find him riding his mountain bike, walking the dogs, flying UAVs, playing pool, and checking his phone every two minutes – a habit he is desperate to break.
