THE growing influence of Irish Directors in British boardrooms will be the focus of an event in London later today.
Irish-owned PR group Eulogy! will launch its Irish Director in UK plc 2015 report as part of a panel discussion with a number of high-level business leaders.
Telefónica UK CEO, Ronan Dunne, will head up the panel to debate the changing profile and role of Irish professionals in the British economy.
Joining him will be Dee Forbes, President and Managing Director, Northern Europe at Discovery Channel; former BBC head of marketing Helen Normoyle, now chief marketing officer at furniture chain DFS; and Órna Ní-Chionna, deputy chairman of the National Trust, a non-executive director of Royal Mail, and chairman of the advisory board of consulting firm Eden McCallum.
