Our celebration of life memorial run is a meaningful way to honor and remember our colleagues who have passed away, Marc O’Sullivan (Finance & Billing IT) and Danny White (Global Fund Operations). This run will celebrate the life and legacy of our friends and colleagues highlighting their passions, achievements, and the positive impact they had on Clearstream / Deutsche Börse Cork. This event will give the opportunity for family, friends, and the community to come together, share memories, support each and remember your loved ones who have passed away.
