You're Invited:

An evening with Brendan Mooney MBE

UU Connects and UU Business School warmly invite you to join us for an evening of inspiration and networking with fellow alumni working in the NI business community.

Our guest speaker for the evening is former CEO of Kainos and fellow Ulster University graduate, Dr Brendan Mooney MBE, who will discuss his career journey and offer valuable insights into what it takes to lead one of Northern Ireland’s most successful businesses.

After graduating from Ulster University, Brendan joined Kainos in 1989 as a trainee software engineer before moving into several technical and commercial roles in Dublin, London and the US, returning to Belfast to become CEO of Kainos.

He served as CEO from 2001 until 2023, during which time Kainos grew from local start-up to a global organisation, employing 3,000 talented people across 22 countries. Since 2015, Kainos has been listed on the London Stock Exchange and with a market capitalisation of £1.5 billion, is a member of the FTSE250.

In addition to his role at Kainos, Brendan has previously served as a Non-Executive Director on several private technology companies, at the Probation Board for Northern Ireland and as a Lay Magistrate.
