Denis O’Brien | 2022 Irish America’s Business 100

Описание: Irish America’s Business 100 celebrates Irish-American and Irish-born public figures. After a two-year pause, the Irish America’s 35th Annual Business 100 awards was held at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Club. At the highly anticipated event on March 15, Denis O’Brien was a Hall of Fame inductee and the keynote speaker. O’Brien was first introduced by Northwell President and CEO Michael Dowling and then immediately interviewed by Irish America Publisher Niall O’Dowd. O’Brien was asked about his experiences as a businessman in the telecommunications industry and as a philanthropist who advocates for education, special needs, community development and human rights.

O’Brien later explained his perspective on philanthrocapitalism and what it means to conduct philanthropy with measurable outcomes on an industrial scale. One example of philanthrocapitalism O’Brien discussed is Concern Worldwide, which he is now Chairman of the Board for. More specifically, he recalled his trip to Ethiopia with his wife in 2000, where he observed Concern’s high level of execution, organisation and planning. Lastly, O’Brien touched on Concern Worldwide’s long-standing work in Haiti and his affinity for the Haitian people.
