Noel Fogarty BE MIE (1996)
Managing Director, Boston Scientific, Galway

'The MIE for me was a stimulating experience which came at a time in my career when I had already built up a body of industrial experience.  It helped to put structure on these experiences by applying theory to practice across a wide variety of subjects.  It also gave me a good appreciation of strategic operations issues within an overall business context.'
