Paul McGinley | Speaker Biography

Captain of Ryder Cup winning team
Winner of Golf World Cup for Ireland
Executive Fellow at London Business School
Paul McGinley is a former professional golfer and Ryder Cup Captain who has become widely respected for his insight into leadership and team strategy. Drawing on a career in elite sport, he shares valuable perspectives on performance, planning and building cohesion under pressure. His transition from successful athlete to boardroom advisor makes his experience particularly relevant to organisations aiming to align individual strengths with shared goals.
Paul is best known for captaining Europe to victory at the 2014 Ryder Cup, a campaign praised for its clarity of strategy and strong team culture. This success was built on his deep understanding of leadership in high-pressure environments and a rare ability to bring out the best in diverse teams. His leadership approach was recognised when he was named Coach of the Year at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards, and later appointed as an Executive Fellow at London Business School – the first sportsperson to receive this honour.
Before turning professional, Paul completed a degree in International Business and a Diploma in Marketing, studying in both Dublin and San Diego. He also worked at the European Commission, laying the foundation for a lifelong interest in strategy and international collaboration. Over a playing career spanning more than two decades, he represented Europe 14 times in team events as a player, Vice-Captain and Captain, winning on all but one occasion.
Today, Paul contributes to the game as a broadcaster, course designer, and board member of the European Tour. He regularly advises companies on leadership, motivation and strategic clarity, drawing parallels between sport and business to offer practical tools for building high-performing teams.
