The Business 100

The Business 100 is a celebration of Irish-American corporate success, and this year is no exception. The executives profiled in the following pages represent some of the most powerful corporations in the world.

It comes as no surprise that the Irish counties most affected by the famine, Cork, Mayo and Kerry, are the same counties that many of the ancestors of our honorees emigrated from.

Regardless of place of birth, or generation, all of our Business 100 share one thing in common, pride in their Irish heritage. The accomplishments of the men and women on our list are immense, and it is an honor for this magazine to highlight their achievement and success. We thank all of those who took the time to fill out their personal biographical forms and share glimpses of what being Irish means to them. Congratulations to all our honorees.
