About Conor Sweeney

At Acument Capital Advisors, I leverage my 20 years of experience in corporate finance and equity investment to provide strategic and commercial advice to business owners who want to grow their businesses sustainably. I have a strong track record of raising capital for projects that enhance the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of my clients, such as net-zero emissions manufacturing and renewable energy generation.Growing a business solely for profit is no longer enough; it must also be done in a way that reduces the impact on the planet. I help my clients navigate the complex and evolving ESG landscape and design growth paths that incorporate impact and sustainability at their core. I work with people who share this vision and want to be at the forefront of Irish business.
