Prior to her appointment to CEO in 2013, Julie held a number of senior public sector positions, spanning a 30-year career in Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland.

Julie’s driving ambition is for Irish-owned industry to become a powerhouse of job creation in  Ireland, resulting in rising prosperity in towns and cities all across Ireland. In pursuit of this  objective, Julie is mobilising all Enterprise Ireland resources and harnessing the power of  external stakeholders and partners, into a cohesive effort to build more Irish companies of  international scale.

Julie shares the wisdom she has gathered with the Students of Smurfit in the final episode of this semester.
