Talk the talk

Ethel Power, chief executive of Tipperary local radio station Tipp FM, talks to David Clerkin.

You’ve moved from being commercial director of Dublin Zoo to running a radio station. What are the similarities between the jobs?

There are lots of similarities - be it a successful zoo or a successful radio station, it’s all about developing a strong, vibrant, successful organisation. The key to this is to grow a team of motivated individuals, all of whom have pride in their jobs and hence are committed to delivering the best service to the listeners.
