Description
‘If there is such a thing as a Renaissance man in business, that man is Tony O’Reilly’ Henry Kissinger
One of Ireland’s top rugby players, by the age of twenty-five he had also become the youngest ever head of a state corporation in Ireland, where he launched the highly successful Kerrygold brand of butter. At thirty-seven he was president of H J Heinz in Pittsburgh, which he turned into one of the brightest stars of the American corporate scene.
Now one of the world’s most charismatic, versatile and powerful business tycoons, he has private interests ranging from supermarkets to newspaper groups.
Acclaimed biographer Ivan Fallon charts the successes, as well as the failures, and – with wide access to O’Reilly, his closest friends, colleagues and family – has written a sensitive, revealing and enthralling account of the man who lies behind the charm.
‘A book that is difficult to put down’ Irish Times
‘Full of intelligence and insight. If it is possible to know the man, you will know him from this’ Irish Independent
