Conor qualified as mechanical engineer from Trinity College Dublin and spent his early career in manufacturing engineering and operations functions. He later gained successful commercial and sales experience when he was tasked with growing international revenue at several companies, including US multinational Methode Electronics.
In recent years, Conor ran the successful multinational subsidiaries of SPS Technologies Inc. in Ireland, and of Aggreko PLC in both Ireland and the UK. At Aggreko, he also led several decarbonisation programmes to support the company net zero goals.
With an MBA in international marketing, Conor has additional qualifications in Corporate Governance (Institute of Directors) and Business Sustainability Management (University of Cambridge).
His passions include climate change and how it impacts company strategy. With a special interest in the energy transition, he works with managers and how they need to think about, and prepare for, the sustainability challenges that are imminent.
