BIO: Per Summer 1998 issue of "The World of Hibernia," Michael Foley, then 49, and president of Heineken USA with headquarters in White Plains, NY, has a deep connection to the Ireland as a native of Co. Wexford. His yacht has been christened "Loch Garman." As longtime resident of Cork, where he served as managing director of Murphy's Irish stout prior to joining Heineken USA in `1994, Foley has been recognized for his contribution to his adopted county as Corkman of the Year in 1996 by the University College Dublin in 1971, and he continues to support that institution's social and academic efforts as a board member of the UCC Foundation. He is also on the board of the Ireland-U.S. Council for Commerce and Industry and a major player in Ireland's economic re-invention. His activities in this area include serving on the board of directors of Agincourt Capital, which manages a $200-million "Celtic Tiger Fund," focused on boosting Ireland's high-tech sector and increasing ! the country's exports to the United States. A true leader among Irish executives in corporate America, Foley, whose name in Norwegian apparently means "plunderer," would perhaps prefer to be known as an honorary publican, having served both Murphy's stout and Heineken to satisfied customers worldwide.
