If you see a group of individuals looking out across Dublin from the top floor of the PwC Building on Spencer Dock this morning, you will be looking at the potential future of sport and business leadership in years to come.

The Annual first gathering of this year’s cohort from the Sport for Business PwC 30 Under 30 takes place from 10 AM and the majority of those on this year’s list will be in attendance.

They will introduce themselves to each other from the podium, and they will forge their part in a network that will be ten years old in 2026.

They will hear from two of those that have gone before them, Gary Stewart, only this morning appointed the new CEO of Irish Boxing, and Ellen McConville, a Senior Consultant with Teneo.

It is one of our favourite mornings of the year and we will have a report and pictures up later today about what we discuss and discover about the class of 2025.

They are:

Eoin Kelly, Ripple
Eliana Benevento, Croke Park
Emma Butler, Cricket Ireland
Val Sizychas, Ireland Active
Heather Downey, Fairyhouse
Hannah Collins, Wilson Hartnell PR
Jack McCarney, GAA
Sophie Doolan, IABA
