#76 Mark McGinley - Belfast bomb threats put life into perspective

Mark McGinley was nominated as a CEO Magazine ‘CEO of the year’ 2021. He will humbly tell you he didn’t win. Join Mark and I as we discuss how he delivered game changing results by elevating female leaders in his business. For him it was simply the fair and smart thing to do. Mark grew up in Belfast where everyone he knew had small businesses. It was in this landscape in the 80s that he was exposed to bomb threats while supporting his father’s small business. It toughened him up for a long and successful corporate career. A career that saw him transition from owning his own businesses to becoming a successful corporate CEO with market leading Great Place to Work results and a business ranked as Number 1 in its category. It also saw him relocate to Australia and realise a long held dream - I will leave that secret for the podcast. Mark McGinley is the sort of leader you can imagine working with. Driven to create a culture of belonging he has consistently focused on leading the individual and ensuring people get opportunities. Mark was CEO of Couriers Please from 2014 - 2021. Enjoy listening to a thoughtful, inclusive leader. -----------------------   Craving inspiration?
