Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam

The Curious Case of Mike Lynch: The Improbable Life & Death of a Tech Billionaire’

17 Dec 2025

Description

Mike Lynch used to run the chip design giant Autonomy before it was sold to HP for $12bn.  HP then sued Lynch for fraudulently overstating the value of Autonomy and won in the British civil courts.  His life story is fascinating from an Irish point of view because both his parents were born here and now there’s a superb book about him.  It’s called ‘The Curious Case of Mike Lynch: the Improbable Life & Death of a Tech Billionaire’.  And its author is Katie Prescott, the Technology Business editor with the Times of London.
