Talk the talk

Dermot O’Donoghue, managing director of Irish spread-betting firm Delta Index, talks to David Clerkin.

I understand you’re a former treasury executive at AIB. How did you get into this business?

Delta Index was founded in 2001 by two UCC graduates, actuary Conor O’Neill and technology specialist Michael O’Shea. They approached me shortly afterwards because they felt they needed someone to harness their enthusiasm and focus on the opportunity to change the way people think about investment.
