Trevor O'Hara

The IC Founder & CEO

Trevor O’Hara is the Founder and CEO of The Interlude Café, the creator of the Agilism framework, and the publisher of Out of Line on Substack.

Before founding The Interlude Café, Trevor ran a venture development practice in the transportation and airport industry for 20 years. Earlier in his career, he held executive roles in the technology and telecoms industry.

He has lived in 12 countries and operated across 40 others.

His work focuses on what happens when people, institutions, and careers keep applying assumptions that no longer match the reality they are operating in.

That pattern first became visible to him in business: capable teams, strong ideas, and serious projects failing not because they were weak, but because the environment around them had changed. Over time, he began to see the same mismatch in adult life more broadly — across work, money, identity, health, place, and relationships.

He is currently writing Postlinear, a book about what happens when the old script of life no longer matches the lives people are currently living.

Trevor also advises a small number of organisations in the longevity and future-of-work space as a board advisor or non-executive director.

He holds a BA (Hons) from University College Dublin, an MBA from ESCP Europe, a Diplôme de Grande École from Paris, and a Diplom Kaufmann from Berlin.

A passionate mountaineer, Trevor finds inspiration in nature and divides his time between Henley-on-Thames in the UK, Vancouver, and Alicante.
