07 October, 2010

 

7th October 2010 – CorkBIC are delighted to announce that Jim Breen, Chief Executive Officer of PulseLearning has joined the board of CorkBIC. Jim is the driving force behind PulseLearning’s high standards of excellence and its rapid progression as a globally dominant organisation.

Jim first came across CorkBIC when he sought their advice on how to launch PulseLearning. While he had no experience of starting up a company, he had those qualities every entrepreneur needs – dogged determination, a hunger to succeed and an ability to establish trust and build good relationships with investors, partners and customers.

Jim Breen commenting on his experience with CorkBIC saidOrganisations come down to people and the people in CorkBIC were incredibly supportive right from day one. They have all worked at the coalface and they understood the potential of PulseLearning even before the business plan was documented or articulated. They got behind the passion of the idea. The hard numbers and detailed planning followed shortly after.”

Commenting on joining the board he said “I believe Ireland is full of entrepreneurs – ranging from the woman who transforms the corner shop into a whole new business proposition to the supplier of vending machines and catering services for local businesses. It’s impossible not to feel enthused and refreshed each day listening to their stories and being involved. I am looking forward to advising CORKBIC entrepreneurs on being fully committed to their idea while enjoying the thrill of the battle. Entrepreneurs succeed by engaging in their business and seeing what opportunities exist or can be created.”

Winner of the Deloitte Fast 50 Awards in 2007, and shortlisted for the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year PulseLearning has grown from strength since it was set up in 1999.
