Alan O’Neill

Chief Executive Officer/ President/Professional Speaker

Entrepreneur, Alan O’Neill, emigrated to the United States in 1996 on a green card from Ireland. Accompanying him were his wife, Linda, their two daughters, Emma and Lorna, and their soon to be born son, Paul. In 2005, Alan and his family received their United States citizenship, a significant milestone in their journey towards the American Dream.

Following a rapid ascension from plumber to President while employed at another Houston company, Alan founded Abacus Plumbing in 2003. Under his extraordinary leadership, Abacus received the Better Business Bureau Award for Excellence 13 times, three of which were the prestigious Pinnacle award. Abacus also garnered national attention for its record growth and was named one of INC 5000’s fastest growing companies in 2010 and 2011.

Following this success, Alan partnered with a private equity company in 2012, and expanded operations to air-conditioning services, followed by electrical services in 2015. Over the past 19 years, Alan has grown Abacus from a staff of three plumbers to a Houston’s premier home services company, boasting over $60 million in annual sales and over 350 employees. In addition, Alan’s leadership now extends far beyond Abacus, as he now serves as CEO of The Wrench Group South Central Region. Under his leadership, the three distinctive companies have exceeded over $160 million in annual revenue. Spearheading a collaborative effort, Alan employs and oversees 900 plus employees throughout the Houston and Dallas region.
