Finally, Anna Malmhake took the stage to tell her story of growing up in Sweden to becoming CEO of Irish Distillers and the IMAGE CEO of the Year 2015.

The morning was wrapped up with a few more surprises as three attendees discovered a makeover package worth €150 from Zeba Hairdressing and Ken Boylan under their seats, three more won a session with life coach Sinead Hardiman, €150 Spa voucher for The Marker Hotel and a savings account with €50 courtesy of RaboDirect.
