“George has a wealth of commercial experience and a hugely successful track record at the business end of sport which will provide invaluable insights for delegates,” said John Gaynor, Chairman of the ACCA (Connacht Branch) and Programme Chair of the BA (Hons) in Accounting at IT Sligo.
“He is also a Sligo man, proud of his roots, and his talk is bound to appeal to a wide audience.”
