Roisin Hogan BCOMM, ACA

Managing Director HIRO


It’s hard to put Roisin Hogan in one box – she is a food-obsessed accountant, an entrepreneur and impressed on screens in Autumn 2014 when she appeared on The Apprentice on BBC 1, making it to the famous Final Five.
Roisin showcased her flair for business through her creativity and straight talking common sense & she famously impressed Alan Sugar when she bought a diamond for £50!
Roisin grew up in Dublin and studied Commerce in UCD. Working in E&Y for seven years Roisin developed a confident and dynamic management style and became an expert at building teams that were enthusiastic, career driven and results focused.
Roisin has a very commercial mindset and a healthy risk appetite, which inevitably led her to striking out on her own. Roisin’s journey to entrepreneurship started with her giving up smoking as a New Year’s resolution. This single event became the catalyst and inspiration for a very interesting journey that led to her leaving her promising career in accountancy and taking the risk of starting her own business.
Roisin shares her journey of transitioning from accountant to entrepreneur and how her training in EY prepared her for the Boardroom with Alan Sugar.
