Throughout his career, Eamonn has been at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing. He is passionate about the rapid development and impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, believing that it will compel us to redefine what it means to be human in the twenty-first century.

In 2010, Eamonn was appointed Vice-President and General Manager for Intel Ireland. Since then, the facility in Leixlip has become one of the largest and most advanced manufacturers of microprocessors in the world. He attributes the success of Intel Ireland to the strength, dedication, expertise, and extraordinary teamwork of staff at all levels and their ability to view every challenge as an opportunity. Following his appointment to Intel Ireland in 1991, Eamonn spent much of the following ten years between Ireland and the USA, progressing rapidly through various manufacturing - focused roles before returning to Ireland permanently.
