John McEvoy's story is the remarkable tale of a real Irish unicorn.
A unicorn is the title conferred on a start-up company that achieves a billion dollar valuation. Newry-based John McEvoy was previously Global General Counsel at a Dublin-based pharmaceutical company - a job he landed before he was 30 - where played a key role in its rapid acquisition-led growth and Nasdaq listing before it was sold last year for nearly $1.5 billion. It’s the remarkable tale of a real Irish unicorn.
He’s now planning to repeat the success with another Dublin pharma company while also setting up and growing Northern Ireland’s largest private GP services company in his spare time.
