Irish America’s Business 100 honors the best and the brightest Irish-American and Irish-born leaders, representing some of the most innovative and influential companies and corporations in the world.

For the first time in Irish America Business 100 history, two keynote speakers shared the stage as Helen Doody, the Managing Director and Head of Abbey Capital (US), and Brian Ruane, Senior Executive Vice President, BNY, addressed a crowd of over 300 guests who gathered to celebrate the honorees and the Christmas season. 

The beautifully decorated Metropolitan Club in New York City put everyone in a festive mood as old friends connected and new friends met for the first time.

Honorees included Jim O’Donnell, Vice Chair of Citi; Janet Lenaghan, Dean of the Frank G. Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University; Raymond F. Kerins, Jr, CEO Next Solutions Group; and Carol McNerney, CMO, Walker & Dunlop to name just a few. All of the honorees are featured in the Winter 2024 issue of Irish America.
