This week I spoke to JD Buckley, CEO at Sky Ireland.

Sky, as most of you will know, is a global broadcasting and telecommunications company.

Since joining Sky in 2012, JD has overseen the growth of the Irish business from just 30 people to over one-thousand today.

In this very enjoyable conversation, JD talks about what he learned while working for Digicel in the Caribbean, along with an early opportunity that came from failing an exam in UCD, and he gives some really clear and honest advice for anyone who aspires to one day, becoming a CEO.
