Leading US Financial & Business newspaper, Barron’s, has named Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary in the top 30 Global CEO’s.
O’Leary is the only Irish citizen to make the list which is limited to top CEO’s who have “been in the job at least three years and have made shrewd acquisitions or taken advantage of the economic recession to expand at the expense of rivals.”
Despite attracting the wrath of government and the courts recently here in Ireland, Michael O’Leary is certainly being noticed on the international stage and recogntion like this will undoubtedly bolster him further.
