EGB Capital's values and principles are rooted in the management and leadership philosophies of Charles (Chuck) Feeney. The first hotel Joseph worked at 33 years ago in Ireland was owned by an entity controlled by Chuck and the holding company was called EGB Ireland Limited. Chuck had a vision to inspire and support the growth of others through education and the support of institutions that create lifelong learners. Joseph was directly impacted by educational support and employment from Chuck's initiatives through Atlantic Philanthropies, he will forever be grateful and seeks to pay it forward. Feeney was called the "James Bond of Philanthropy" by Forbes magazine for the stealthy and successful manner in which he anonymously donated approximately $8 billion to various charities - Dwyer, Jim (January 5, 2017).
