DR. T. PEARSE LYONS (1944-2018)
President & Founder, ALLTECH, Inc. & 2010 Title Sponsor, FEI World Equestrian Games (held in Lexington, KY)
A native of Ireland, Dr. T. Pearse Lyons is driven by making a
difference in the world and has built his company, Alltech, based on
doing the right thing.
In 1980, Lyons founded Alltech, an animal
health company. What started as a very modest company has grown into a
high technology, high-concept global giant with revenues of $500
million. Alltech is now located in Nicholasville, Kentucky, on a
146-acre campus with a stunning blend of science and art. It is the
title sponsor to the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games being held
in Lexington, Ky.
Lyons credits his mother’s emphasis on education
as spurring him forward in his studies of science. He studied yeast
fermentation, eventually earning his Bachelor of Science from the
National University in Ireland and his master’s and doctorate degrees at
England’s University of Birmingham. Lyons eventually moved to
Lexington, Ky. and accepted the position of an executive at Biocon,
Inc., a British company that produces brewing additives.
