Iron Maiden frontman to speak at summit

Pilot, entrepreneur and Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson will be the keynote speaker at the National Leadership Summit in Croke Park tomorrow. The one-day forum is devoted to exchanging ideas on how senior executives can engage in creative leadership for innovation, survival and growth,

While Dickonson's band may have sold 80 million records and continues to sell out stadiums worldwide, the singer has reinvented himself as an entrepreneur, commercial pilot and motivational speaker. He put £1 million (€1.2 million) of his own money into Cardiff Aviation, an aircraft maintenance company in Wales.

The singer will talk about the parallels between his music and business careers, delivering team-building experiences focused around his flight simulator and his entrepreneurship projects.
