Most of Aidan’s time has been spent focusing on the financials of these companies but what is more fascinating to him is how companies operate, how the entrepreneurs started them, and the business people/managements who run them. But as with most things, a work/life balance is essential, so it won’t just be about the professional developments they have made through the years, but also the personal ones. Aidan Donnelly, Head of Equities at Davy, has been working in, analysing, and investing in companies for decades. He has 27 years’ investment management experience. He joined Davy in 2005 and has worked as an analyst/fund manager for a range of global equity funds and is now responsible for the direct equity offering at Davy.

Michael has been at the forefront of Evara’s growth story since its formation in 2019, helping to build a business that has delivered thousands of new homes and played a significant role in addressing Ireland’s housing needs. Formerly known as Quintain Ireland, the company rebranded as Evara in 2025 as it entered a new phase of expansion, backed by global investor TPG Real Estate. Under Michael’s leadership, Evara has developed a reputation for delivering large-scale residential communities, combining housing, public amenities, infrastructure and mixed-use developments designed to create thriving neighbourhoods rather than simply housing estates. Evara has a substantial development pipeline across Ireland and has set ambitious targets to increase housing delivery to 1,500 homes annually. The company works closely with local authorities, government agencies and private-sector partners to bring forward the scale of housing required to meet Ireland’s growing demand. This is the 85th episode in the Davy podcast series ‘Everyday Business with Aidan Donnelly’, featuring special guest Michael Hynes, Chief Executive and co-founder of Evara.","meta_description":"Michael Hynes is the Chief Executive and co-founder of Evara, one of Ireland’s leading residential development companies and the country’s largest private…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3883,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/everyday-business-with-aidan-donnelly-6381217/episodes/85-michael-hynes-chief-executive-and-co-founder-of-evara/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/everyday-business-with-aidan-donnelly-6381217/85-michael-hynes-chief-executive-and-co-founder-of-evara.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
