About Eddie
Eddie has spent nearly 20 years based in the German-speaking-world and done everything from vulcanizing rubber in a German auto factory to leading investment projects into Ireland for a German Group.
In between Eddie spent over 18 years posted overseas and managing teams for the Irish economic development State Agencies: IDA Ireland & Enterprise Ireland- negotiating foreign direct investment from Germany into Ireland with IDA Ireland and developing trade links between Ireland and Germany as Manager of the German speaking region with Enterprise Ireland.
For the last 18 months Eddie has been engaged by Private Pier Industries: a Berlin Headquartered Group invested in diverse sectors from pet food to whiskey to fashion. During this period Eddie led an investment by the Group into Ireland through the establishment of a new industrial operation in County Louth. The Irish facility, with plans to double in size in 2022, will act as the industrial cornerstone for the PPI Group.
Over the last 20 years, Eddie lived in Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Vienna, Düsseldorf, and now he is based in Berlin. He’s managed teams and a network of offices made up of Germans & Irish in Germany and sat on the Board of the German-Irish Chamber of Commerce for 7 years.
Eddie will talk about his experiences of doing business in Germany, managing teams of Irish & Germans in Germany & insights from setting up a new business in Ireland from Berlin during the pandemic.
