UCC student Barry O’Sullivan may only be 20, but he has no shortage of ambition, bringing together some of the top business leaders in the country for the inaugural Executive Summit next month.

The Bantry, Co Cork, native and second-year economics student has assembled developer Michael O’Flynn, Dalata chief, Pat McCann, telecoms entrepreneur, David McCourt, the Housing Agency’s John O’Connor, and Leinster Rugby’s Michael Dawson for his event, in Dublin’s Clontarf Castle Hotel on April 5. His ambition is to host an event for business people to hear the insights and strategies that have taken the speakers to the top of their fields.
