Honorary Doctorate a fitting tribute for an extraordinary leader – Ei’s Michael Guinee…Shannon Chamber CEO says
Shannon Chamber was honoured to witness the conferring of an Honorary Doctorate of Engineering on Michael Guinee, former CEO of Ei Electronics, by the University of Limerick.
Chief executive Helen Downes, who attended the conferring ceremony, said she watched with pride as this fitting tribute was paid to one of the founding chairs of Shannon Chamber and such an inspirational leader and advocate for Shannon.
“Even whilst leading his company, Ei Electronics, to the heights it has now reached, Mick was always there in the background, monitoring our progress and supporting our endeavours to enable Shannon attain recognition as a powerhouse in an industrial context.
“To have one of the largest indigenous companies in our midst is due to Mick’s determination to grow an Irish company of scale, and to show that Ireland can be a successful manufacturing base for a company with the right products, processes and leadership. He is a truly inspirational leader with extraordinary vision. An Honorary Doctorate is a fitting recognition for the enormous contribution he has made to so many facets of life in Shannon and beyond.”
