Irish America celebrates the annual Business 100 honourees

Irish America recently celebrated its annual Business 100 honourees with a gala luncheon at the Metropolitan Club in New York City. The event brought together some of the most innovative and influential Irish-American and Irish-born leaders in the world. The honourees were recognised for their contributions to their respective fields, as well as their commitment to promoting Irish heritage and culture.


Over 50 of the honourees attended the event, which was a testament to the significance of the awards and the impact of Irish-Americans in the business world. The event was a showcase of Irish-American talent, with a diverse range of professionals from various industries represented.


One of the highlights of the event was the keynote speech delivered by Sean Granahan, President and General Counsel for The Floating Hospital. The Floating Hospital, founded in 1866, provides healthcare services to underserved communities in New York City. Granahan spoke about the organisations mission and the impact it has had on the community.

Some of the 2023 Business 100 honorers included John Saunders, President and CEO of Fleishman Hillard; Audrey Hendley, President of American Express Travel; James Brett, President and CEO of the New England Council. They were recognised for their leadership, innovation, and contributions to their respective industries.


Overall, the Business 100 honours serve as a reminder of the significant role Irish-Americans play in shaping the business world. The honouree's' accomplishments and dedication to their work are a testament to the importance of hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence.

Being Irish, you have a work ethic and drive instilled in you from a young age; you understand that things don't come easy. This has helped me on my journey in the U.S. as it takes a massive amount of hard work to build a company here
