Donnach O'Driscoll - Chief Executive Officer of music and entertainment business Absolute
Donnach heads the innovative new entertainment and music business Absolute which is delivered across multiple platforms, including the number one UK commercial radio station (under 45s) following the acquisition of Virgin Radio Holdings Ltd by TIML. In this role, Donnach has introduced a mould-breaking new approach to running a radio station, increasing openness and engagement amongst clients, listeners and staff. With long term investment provision and a series of innovative digital initiatives planned, he is taking the business into new areas with the aim of strengthening appeal amongst existing 5m users, winning back lapsed and attracting new consumers.
Previously Donnach led investment and development consultancy Absolute Radio International (ARI). He developed the consultancy’s name and reputation since incorporation to its current highly regarded position throughout Europe and Asia.
Most recently Donnach spent two years as interim Managing Director at 107.6 Juice FM in Liverpool. ARI co-owned the station between 2003 and 2005 and also managed it during that time. Under Donnach's leadership the station was transformed and its market share doubled in two years.
Donnach has also used his extensive contacts to develop consulting opportunities for ARI across Continental Europe and Asia. Prior to setting up ARI in 2001 Donnach spent two years as Head of International Development at the UK's leading commercial radio group - Capital Radio (now GCAP Media plc) .
