Honouring a Legacy of Leadership and Vision- Tony O'Reilly The 50th Annual Business & Finance Awards in association with KPMG Ireland marked a significant milestone in recognising the contributions of individuals who have profoundly shaped industries and society. Tony O’Reilly was among this year’s honourees. He was posthumously awarded the TK Whitaker Award for Outstanding Contribution to Public Life. His exemplary leadership spanned diverse domains, from global business innovation to philanthropy and peacebuilding. O’Reilly’s achievements, including his pivotal role in establishing the Ireland Funds and his transformative leadership at Heinz and Kerrygold, illustrate the impact of strategic vision, resilience, and a commitment to fostering collaboration.
