Tara was granted a rare interview with the CEO of the National Treasury Management Agency, Conor O’Kelly, for our second installment of our Expert Corner.
In the interview, Conor explains what the NTMA does and how it works (5mins). He also describes how they marry the short term response needed to the crisis with the long term values they hold. Conor outlines the €2billion pandemic fund and the role of ISIF (7:40mins), the exceptional work they have done to educate and empower their staff on the topic of sustainability as part of their move into a new LEED building (12.40mins) and the implications of Covid-19 on their remote working practices (15:25mins) and business travel habits (20mins). Conor speaks candidly about the need to lead by example in the public sector (22:10 mins), the democratization of finance, impact investing and the power of finance to reward sustainable companies (28mins), as well as how they are contingency experts when it comes to managing risk (30.30mins). The conversation ends with an in-depth analysis of the role of every stakeholder when it comes to climate action and the power of the individual to make change (38:05mins). Conor feels optimistic and confident in Ireland’s ability to #buildbackbetter, stating that long term value is sustainable and climate friendly. This interview is a testament to his team’s ability to adapt, preform and deliver despite the stresses placed upon them.
