He’s hitting his targets out of the park – and the airline’s shares still have room to grow
Michael O’Leary became Ryanair chief executive in 1994
Brash, outspoken and colourful, Michael O’Leary has over the course of more than three decades at the helm of Ryanair become one of the world’s most recognisable airline bosses. He has steered the carrier from being a small, fledgling upstart to be one of the world’s biggest airlines.
Co-founded in 1985 by Tony Ryan, Ryanair was racking up huge losses in its early years. O’Leary, who trained as an accountant, was a personal adviser to Ryan.
