Brendan O’brien

Brendan O’Brien is Chief Innovation Officer and a Co-founder at Aria Systems. In 2002 he introduced the world to cloud billing, and innovated database-driven, enterprise-grade web applications – before the concept of “cloud” was even on the horizon. O’Brien is at the forefront of the recurring revenue revolution that is empowering enterprises — and specifically enabling information systems and new business models to secure predictive revenue streams while improving business processes.

The original product architecture he designed for Aria in 2002 was the culmination of that experience; it’s an infinitely flexible and scalable recurring revenue management solution that can be adapted to any industry or vertical. Aria’s leadership today confirms Brendan’s original vision.

Trained as a professional stage actor and classical tenor, in the mid ‘90s Brendan realized coding paid better; his love of music is reflected in the company’s name, and his continuing contributions to Philadelphia’s Academy of Music, the Walnut Street Theater, and the Academy of Vocal Arts.
