The O'Brien Team

Our management philosophy is to listen to those that we hope to help. Our policy is to always be available and to allow open access to the officers and founders of the company.

Paul Mangus, our president, has more than 25 years of operational management expertise, including more than 20 years of senior-level executive experience with B&A and other technology-based companies. He has provided hands-on leadership and direction for finance, corporate development, human resources, contracts, and strategic planning.

Jim Bligh, our corporate operations manager, has over 30 years in the mortgage finance and real estate industry. The past 12 years he has provided expertise in helping one of the largest homebuilding companies in America become a dominant force in the mid Atlantic states. Jim will coordinate the efforts of our R&D and marketing departments to facilitate the release of our products to the health care industry.

Ellen O'Brien, vice president and comptroller, is no stranger in her efforts to help the less fortunate. Her interests have been art, design and working with people which have led to careers in Interior Design and Real Estate when living in the U.S. While living abroad, International work laws prevented her from working in India and Italy and this is where her volunteer work began in earnest. She designed handlooms and managed a handloom operation for a Rehabilitation Center for Lepers in New Delhi, India, for two years. The quality control program set in place by her led to an enormous change in behavior. It is with this belief that she continues to work for the less fortunate helping them put dignity and self esteem back into their life.

Dan O'Brien was the inventor of this product. His creative efforts and thought processes led to this brilliant idea in augmentative communication. Dan was vice president of strategic planning and R&D, and spent his career in construction and mortgage banking. He was always trying to solve problems for other people. Dan suddenly passed away on May 18, 2010 and this will be his legacy.

Other employees are located in a distribution and customer support center in Port Jefferson Station , New York, and a funding and claim center is located in Waynesboro, Virginia.
