Speaker
Keegan O'Connor
Who is Keegan O'Connor?
Keegan is a seasoned entrepreneur and successful founder with over 5 years of field sales experience at top investment management and cybersecurity firms. A former Division 1 lacrosse captain, he brings strong leadership, discipline, and a team-first mentality to every endeavor.
Driven by a lifelong passion for health and wellness, Keegan founded Chillshark to make cold plunge therapy accessible to everyone. Recognizing the profound physical, emotional, and mental health benefits of cold exposure, he set out to create a product that would empower people to improve their lives—whether through faster recovery, stress relief, or support for challenges like PTSD.
With a deep commitment to helping others unlock their potential, Keegan continues to lead Chillshark with the same focus and determination that defined his athletic and professional career.
What is Chillshark?
Chillshark is a next-gen cold plunge system designed to transform any standard bathtub into a professional-grade cold therapy experience. Built for athletes, biohackers, and wellness enthusiasts, our portable chiller rapidly cools water down to 45°F, filters it with UV micron technology, and runs off a standard wall outlet. It’s compact, made in the USA, and engineered to bring recovery-grade cold therapy to homes, hotels, and clinics without the need for bulky tubs or ice.
