Conal Henry is Founder and Chair of Fibrus. Before co-founding Fibrus, Conal was CEO of enet taking it from start up to its £200m acquisition by the Irish Infrastructure Fund in 2017. As CEO of enet, Conal also lead what is now known as NBI to become the winning bidder for the €2bn Irish National Broadband Plan. Prior to enet Conal was Commercial Director at Ryanair having been Head of Finance for Non Food and George Clothing at Asda in the UK.

Conal graduated in Law from Queen's University Belfast in 1991 and is a Chartered Management Accountant.

A mechanical engineering graduate (2023) from Queen's University Belfast, Maebh Reynolds, leads Plugable as its Founder and CEO. 

Starting her career at Danfoss Power Solutions Headquarters in Denmark, this role highlighted her natural inclination towards pioneering work in the automotive sector, further enriched by her academic involvement in design and manufacturing.

Combining her extensive engineering knowledge with her strong commitment to sustainability, Maebh transitioned into the electric vehicle industry, marking her profound interest in design and automation. Her tenacity and forward-thinking vision have been instrumental in the growth of Plugable, which is now poised to become the world’s largest peer-to-peer EV charging network.

Refreshments will be provided with time to meet and connect with Queen's alumni, students, staff and the local enterprise Ecosystem.
