In this episode of The EY CFO Outlook Podcast, TJ Kelly, Group CFO of Origin Enterprises, tells host Vincent Wall the remarkable story of a career spent in the finance function of some of the world's most iconic companies. He shares the lessons he has learned along the way, from people management and investor relations, to strategic international expansion and building a brand.Growing up in the family business in Co Kilkenny, TJ Kelly learned the basics of commerce from a very young age. His favourite subjects in school were Business and Accounting and he went on to train as a chartered account immediately after completing the Leaving Cert. So began a career in finance that has spanned some of the best-known and most successful companies in Ireland and the US, including General Electric (GE), Microsoft, Glanbia and Hostelworld. With each role, TJ learned an invaluable lesson – from Treasury management and raising equity during highly turbulent times, to effective communication with investors and the power of branding. Each string added to his bow led Kelly closer to the senior role he holds today, as Group CFO and Executive Director of Origin Enterprises. Having spent many years in senior roles with Glanbia, joining Origin - another big player in the Agri sector - felt “like putting on an old pair of shoes”. Despite having a deep familiarity with the sector, it is one in a state of flux, and Kelly's key priorities now centre on the sustainable use of land, yield optimisation, ensuring security of global food supply, and playing a key role in emerging Nature Economy.TJ and Vincent also discuss:·       Working in Microsoft at a time of incredible innovation, including the launch of the Xbox and Windows XP·       GE's Jack Welch and his infamous people management style ·       The future of Farming and driving innovation in the sector. ·       How he maintains contact and communication with the finance teams across the whole group·       The experience of trying to raise capital for Hostelworld during Covid-related lockdowns·       The leaders he most admires.

In 2008, Mainstream Renewable Power was born out of a belief that renewable energy would become a mainstream asset class. At the time, renewable power was not as popular or investable as it is today, but the company founders had a vision that it would soon become ‘front and centre' to how we live our lives, and backed themselves accordingly. Today, Mainstream is valued at over 2bn, employs 500 staff, and it is eyeing a potential IPO. Central to this success story is Group CFO, Paul Corrigan. Having joined the company in 2008 in a corporate finance function, Corrigan succeeded in continually raising capital throughout a very challenging period when money was scarce and expensive. Moreover, Mainstream's strategy of investing in emerging markets around the world ruled out many risk-averse investors. However, the company's long-term play is now bearing fruit, attracting the attention of two major investors, Aker Horizons and Mitsui & Co, who between them now own over 80% of the business.   In this episode of The EY CFO Outlook podcast, Mainstream Renewable Power Group CFO, Paul Corrigan, tells host Vincent Wall the remarkable story of how an Irish start-up scaled rapidly to become one of the world's first pure-play renewable energy majors. They also discuss:  Eddie O'Connor's original vision for the company, how he got his team and investors on board, and Paul's admiration for O'Connor's entrepreneurial drive.  Why the company has focussed on emerging markets and less-developed countries, and the advantages of that strategy. The game-changing deal that put Mainstream in control of its own destiny. How the company and Paul's role have changed following investment from Aker Horizons and Mitsui & Co. Becoming CFO in 2020, and negotiating major investments in the new role, fully remotely.  The factors and considerations around a potential IPO.

Host Conall O Móráin is joined by business broadcasting legend Vincent Wall on Episode 91We start with a tribute to the late Ray Coyle, former owner of the Tayto and Hunky Dory brands, a larger that life business figure and a man who who always wanted to have a bit of fun2.00" Evelyn Moynihan, CEO Kilkenny Design, goes on safari ahead of Christmas. A deep dive into one of the biggest backers of Irish designers. 'The tourists are back' she says. In April tourist numbers were touching a 80% rebound (they were expecting a 50% jump). The safari we reference is the top team's trips abroad to see what their Christmas theme in their shops could / should be. If you're interested in retail or in design (she's on the hunt for new Irish designers) this is the one for you. And, if you are in the US or the UK, they have just launched new websites for those markets, including the Irish diaspora in Texas (which we learn is a big opportunity). Evelyn, who has previously worked at Diageo and Musgraves gives her suggestions on how main shopping streets, missing many stores post-Covid, could be repaired.Her 'hire in a heartbeat' - Aimee Connolly of Sculpted by Aimee38.00" Niall O'Connor, who sports 'Ireland's best beard' - but sshhhh, don't tell De Facto Shaving Oil owner Tom Murphy - is a director at a Blessington, Wicklow based company - an events company that literally hit the buffers when Covid hit. Niall talks about the day when all the office phones rang...with everyone of them cancelling. A few months later however, they had pivoted, and using technology created team building experiences that have attracted world brand names - helping bonding multi-location teams as they find more and more clever ways of working together whilst apart. Yet again, a great example of a business world without borders. He does also explain how much tech and diesel is needed to keep the worldwide show on the road, when based in rural Wicklow. BTW, if you like the sound of this great little business, they're hiring.His 'hire in a heartbeat'? Jurgen Klopp1.08.00" Barry Corr, CEO Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce is leading a business delegation to Ireland very shortly and they want to meet your business (we even got you an invitation for a beer and barbecue at the Australian Ambassador's residence!). The group travelling include Australian businesses, including mining and digital health as well as an arts company. And, they're looking for 'talent'. Barry specifies some of the hot opportunities in Australia, and he highlights infrastructure projects. Full details on wwww.IrishChamber.com.au Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the EY CFO Outlook podcast series, NTR plc CFO Marie Joyce tells host Vincent Wall the story of her rise through the ranks of companies including Arthur Anderson, Elan, and Irish Broadband, to her current role, securing a green future with NTR plc.Established in 1978 to build Ireland's first toll bridge, NTR plc has been investing in sustainable infrastructure since 1999. Solely focussed on investments in onshore wind, solar, and battery storage, the company now manages 1bn of capital in clean energy projects across 45 sites in 6 European countries.  As NTR plc's CFO, Marie Joyce's role includes designing funds that are attractive to investors, raising debt alongside that equity, building the assets on time and on budget, and ultimately delivering on promises and expectations. Alongside the company's energy projects, Marie believes that one of NTR plc's key assets is its reputation. Indeed, it was the company culture that first attracted her to join: “entrepreneurial partnership, direct, honest, very straight, what you see is what you get; which our investors, employees, and stakeholders really appreciate”. Vincent and Marie also discuss: ·       The valuable lessons she learned about sales and negotiation during one of the most difficult times of her career ·       The immense volatility in energy infrastructure costs and the price of power, and the challenges it is presenting.  ·       The importance of having systems that turn ‘too much information' into something useful and actionable.  ·       Her advice to other CFOs – “keep the personal touch and develop relationships”.

A special edition of That Great Business Show - Episode 77 - in that host Conall O Móráin was joined, as co-host, by Vincent Wall, former Business Editor with Newstalk.3.30" Brian Donaldson gives a comprehensive and candid account of where he thinks the garage forecourt is heading - and interestingly, it sounds like his bet is on hydrogen in the future - though there's going to be a longish transition from the internal combustion engine, first to electricity, then possibly to hydrogen, particularly for heavier vehicles. Initially Maxol (as it became) was run separately in the RoI and Northern Ireland, but under GM Tom Noonan the two were brought together to make one all-island company. However, Brian discusses some peculiar differences that still remain, including a different taste for coffee! He says that purchasing fuel is a 'distress purchase', because there's no upside, no joy, just a necessary cost.Reflecting how Maxol has repositioned itself Brian says that only 20% of customers pull onto his forecourts just for fuel. A whopping 80% are there for 'other purchases'. They will be transitioning more towards electricity over the next eight to ten years. He says the recent sharp rise in fuel prices has led to car-pooling. Given the cost of electric vehicles 'early adopters' are from a wealthier demographic. This in turn determines where Maxol will be locating their E-hubs, where they'll have chargers to charge cars to 80% charge in 25 minutes. Whereas he thinks many people will still choose to recharge at home, their research shows that 60% of homes in the Greater Dublin Area do no have driveways, which in turn begs the question as to where they'll find charging points.His 'hire in a heartbeat'? Irish rugby legend Paul O'Connell plus he wants his own late father on his 'subs bench', Terry Donaldson.50.00" Maeve Mullin, Director of Finders International, who will find you your inheritance, should it exist. She says on some rare occasions, particularly with American probates, that the quantum of money involved can run into two or three million dollars! She talks about the process that, typically but surprisingly for TeamGBS, can take just a couple of months to complete a search (other searches can go on for much longer). It's a fabulously niche business that Maeve, who had a lengthy career in IT projects with the Bank of Ireland, was wooed into by her father, who founded the business.Her 'hire in a heartbeat'? Mairead Mackle, founder of Tarasis Enterprises Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the EY CFO Outlook podcast series, Group CFO for Open Orphan, Leo Toole tells host Vincent Wall about how a highly specialised approach to clinical trials is proving very successful for a young Irish company. He also describes how he is helping Open Orphan to “control [its] own destiny…by driving sustainable performance, profit, and cashflow”. Open Orphan is a Clinical Research Organisation (CRO) with a difference. While most CROs recruit people who are already infected with a disease for their trials, Open Orphan takes healthy patients, gives them the infection, and then runs the trial. This model, according to the company's CFO Leo Toole, allows them “to get better data sooner, better drugs sooner, [and therefore] better outcomes sooner for patients”.  As a result, the clinical and operation risks for Open Orphan's partners are radically reduced. And, with big pharma currently investing heavily in infectious disease programmes, this young company is now growing rapidly and is already profitable. Leo and Vincent also discuss; ·         The world-first COVID 19 trial which Open Orphan is delivering is delivering on behalf of the British government  ·         Leo's views on the mindset of a successful CFO·         Leveraging technology to increase efficiency and drive productivity ·         The importance of developing a strong communication profile with investors  What Leo has learned about avoiding ‘analysis paralysis' from Open Orphan's dynamic co-founder, Cathal Friel. 

In this episode of the EY  CFO Outlook podcast series, Andy Cronin tells host Vincent Wall the story of a Avolon's remarkable growth from Dublin start-up to a world leader in aircraft leasing in just a few short years. They discuss:·         How Andy, an engineer, became the co-founder and CFO of an aircraft leasing company·         The story of Avolon's IPO and his experience of running the finance function of a public company versus a private one·         Raising capital and how Avolon has achieved a credit rating on a par with major banks·         Environmental sustainability and why Avolon is investing heavily in electric ‘flying taxis'  ·         Why Ireland enjoys a ‘monopoly position' in the aircraft leasing sector·         Why data pays a critical role in Avolon's success. 

In this episode of the EY CFO Outlook podcast, Kenmare Resources Finance Director, Tony McCuskey tells host, Vincent Wall the compelling story of an Irish company's rise to the top of the exploration industry. It is a journey involving hostile environments, working with local governments and communities , maintaining relationships with partners and shareholders, and personal resilience.“We didn't have any physical assets, what we had was a dream”. When Tony McCluskey joined Kenmare Resources in 1991 it was still a relatively small Irish exploration company. Today it is one of the world's leading producers of titanium materials and zircon, quoted on the London stock exchange, and with a market capitalisation of £500 million.  The story of how Kenmare Resources has grown into what it is today is a fascinating one, but it has not been without its crisis points. Commodity prices can rise and fall sharply, and Kenmare Resources almost fell into the hands of new owners during a particularly rocky period. Leading the company's finance function throughout that time, McCluskey clearly remembers the determination, perseverance, and support that saved them.They also talk about:·       Tony's upbringing in Co. Kilkenny and why he always wanted to be part of a business·       His experience working in rural Mozambique·       The dramatic collapse in mineral prices that almost led to the loss of the company to new owners·       The importance of benefiting the community in which you run operate – funding schools, hospitals and agricultural programmes·       His key priorities as CFO. 

“Like anyone with ambition you're always looking for the next move”. Michael Rice's career has been punctuated by a series of very significant phone calls, each of them offering him the chance to work in a dynamic new company and environment. And, crucially, every role was a stepping stone to the one that Michael holds today – CFO of Glenveagh Properties. Having worked for some of Ireland's leading entrepreneurs and companies, including Dermot Desmond and Kingspan, Michael Rice was drawn to Glenveagh as it gave him the opportunity to put his own stamp on the role and direction of the business. At the time Glenveagh was a new entity but one that, like Michael, had great ambitions. There was also a potential IPO on the horizon. Looking back on the decision Michael describes it as “a calculated risk, but one that certainly paid off”.In this episode of The EY CFO Outlook podcast, Michael Rice talks to host Vincent Wall about his journey to the position of CFO of publicly-listed Glenveagh Properties, his views on the future of the Irish housing market, and what drives him to succeed. They also discuss:·         His experience of working directly with some of Ireland's leading CEOs and CFOs·         Executing an IPO and maintaining good investor relations. ·         Why IT Security keeps him awake at night ·         The CEO CFO relationship and why it is critical ·         The advice he would give to other CFOs.

Mark Garvey became Group CFO of Glanbia in 2013, a time of significant change for the company. It was rapidly transitioning into a global performance nutrition and ingredients business, with acquisitions and joint ventures forming a core part of this successful diversification and expansion strategy.   However, in 2019 Glanbia hit a ‘speed bump' in its performance nutrition business, requiring an adjustment to expectations of profit and the deployment of an extensive transformation programme. A year later, COVID-19 hit and, again, a new strategy was required. As Group CFO, Mark was a core part of the team driving Glanbia's strategic reaction to both events, and he has witnessed the positive results first-hand.  In this episode of The EY CFO Outlook podcast, Mark Garvey talks to host Vincent Wall about the fascinating transformation of Glanbia from a dairy processing business to a global performance nutrition and ingredients giant. Employing over 7,600 team members across 34 countries, Glanbia truly is an Irish success story, and this interview reveals many of the driving factors behind its success. Mark and Vincent also discuss: The changing consumer and how COVID-19 has led to a greater focus on health and wellness, and why that is significant for Glanbia The proliferation of data and how it is being used to understand customer psychology and behaviour The importance of good investor relations – communication and reassurance in difficult times How the role of CFO has changed and expanded, and the qualities of an effective CFO Glanbia's target of achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050. 

Managing the finances of any organisation is challenging at the best of times, but when that organisation is the Health Service Executive, and the country is in the midst of a pandemic, the role of CFO takes on a whole new meaning.  Stephen Mulvany is acutely aware that the HSE and the services it provides touches the lives of every citizen in the country. As such, his position as CFO is particularly high-profile, requiring an impeccable approach to accountability and transparency, and an ability to deal with the pressures of public opinion. However, he believes that one “could not expect anything less in a democracy”.    In this episode of The EY CFO Outlook Podcast, HSE CFO Stephen Mulvany talks to host Vincent Wall about his role in securing, managing and accounting for the largest health budget in the history of the State. They discuss: The relationship between the HSE and the Department of Health – a strong partnership, forged over many years, with some ‘healthy tensions' His pride about the major investment being made in community care and why this strategy is so important The HSE position as largest property holder in the State, maintaining over two thousand buildings across the country The modernisation and integration of the HSE's financial system His admiration for Nelson Mandela.  

In 2011 Dara O'Reilly was Finance Director of the Quinn group when, suddenly, he was called in to a meeting and told it was “lights out” for the company. Receivers had been appointed and Dara's role no longer existed. Three years later, O'Reilly and a number of other former directors of the Quinn group put forward a successful bid for parts of the business. Today, the company is more profitable, employs more people, and has rebranded as Mannok. However, the journey from Quinn to Mannok has not been easy, and has required fierce drive and resilience on the part of the company's leadership team. In this episode of The EY CFO Outlook podcast, Dara O'Reilly tells host Vincent Wall how, as CFO, he successfully helped to grow Mannok and brought more employment to the region throughout such a difficult time personally and professionally. Topics covered include:·       Dara's passion for providing employment in the ‘geographically challenged' Cavan / Fermanagh region. ·       Rebranding Quinn to Mannok and why it is central to the new structure and direction of the business.·       The unique and innovative products that Mannok produces. ·       How Dara is dealing with Brexit, as CFO of a company that oversees 450 movements of goods across the Irish / Northern Irish border every day. ·       His views on what's at the heart of a successful CEO/CFO relationship. 

Trying to explain to people what ICON does is something that Brendan Brennan has found challenging in the past, but not anymore. This fast-growing Clinical Research company partners the world's biggest Pharma companies to deliver end to end clinical trial services – and with ICON now involved in over hundred different COVID-19 vaccine and treatment trials, the company's profile and contract list has grown exponentially.As CFO, Brendan Brennan is central to pivoting Icon's financial operations and future strategy to rise to this new opportunity. In this episode of the EY CFO Outlook series , he talks to host, Vincent Wall, about the role of CFO during times of great growth and change, working on projects designed for ‘the betterment of man', and why he insists on getting under the hood of every company he has worked in.  The also discuss:·         Why ‘always acting like a multinational' positioned Icon perfectly for rapid international scaling·         Growing ICON's revenues from $200m to $2.8bn over the last fifteen years.·         How to perform well in the boardroom·         Forging a successful relationship between CFO and CEO·         Why Brendan's father has been such a powerful influence  

The role of the Chief Financial Officer has evolved dramatically in recent years. While managing costs is still a core part of the position, today's successful CFOs are taking a lead in evolving the business strategy of their organisations and in creating long-term stakeholder value. With thirty successful years in the banking and financial services sector behind him, Myles O'Grady is clear about how the landscape has changed, and what it takes to be a successful CFO in today's Financial Services sector.   Since Myles O'Grady joined Bank of Ireland as Group CFO and Executive Director in 2019, COVID-19 has changed the playing field irrevocably. Despite this, he is still clear about the strategy for the bank, and the particular skills he needs to drive it forward. In this episode of the EY CFO Outlook podcast, Myles O'Grady tells host, Vincent Wall, about his vision for Bank of Ireland, the role of CFO, and the global economy. They talk about:·        The four areas in which every modern CFO must thrive in order to succeed. ·        Digital Transformation – why the emergence of Fintechs are a force for good, and how legacy banks are relishing the challenges they present. ·        The key to a successful relationship between CEO and CFO.·        Why trust between the bank and its customers is critical - and how to build it.·        The next ten years for the Financial Services sector – regulation, consolidation, and strategic investment.
