Wild Geese: Mark Duffy, Stockholm
Mark Duffy: the attraction of Nordic countries for data centres is that they are world leaders in generating electricity through greener energyis a great place to live for anyone looking for work-life balance, an outdoorsy lifestyle and unbeatable public infrastructure, says Stockholm-based Mayo native Mark Duffy, who heads up the data centre focused operations of Suir Engineering in the Nordics, as regional director for Scandinavia.
“I never thought I’d be nearly 27 years in the same company but I’ve made great friends and colleagues down through the years. I also never really expected to move to Stockholm. I just went from one role into the next and progressed up the ladder. It was a great opportunity to get.” Initially nervous to uproot his family, , Duffy said the transition three years ago was very smooth, with no language barrier issues.
Stockholm is a lovely, clean and uncrowded city to live in, and the schools, healthcare and public transport are excellent here; they’re all top class “Stockholm is a lovely, clean and uncrowded city to live in, and the schools, healthcare and public transport are excellent here; they’re all top class,” he says.
“There’s not the same craic at the pubs out here that you would have in Ireland, but there are a few Irish pubs.”
