Moloney internationalised Glanbia and delivered enormous earnings growth

¦ Stephen Cadogan on this week’s high agribusiness retiree John Moloney of the Glanbia group.

Farmers kept Glanbia Group managing director John Moloney “earthed” during his 12-and-a-half-year stint heading up the global nutrition and dairy ingredients group, which is now rated one of Ireland’s top agribusinesses.

Moloney stepped down earlier this week and passed the Glanbia reins to former group finance director Siobhán Talbot, who takes over as MD.
