John Delaney (1969 – 21 May 2011) was an Irish businessman and the CEO of the trading exchange website Intrade from 2003 until 2011, which was the first commercial online exchange to feature trading on election outcomes.
Delaney died at the age of 42 while attempting to climb Mount Everest—a lifelong ambition—and came within 50 metres of the summit. He is survived by his wife (Orla), two sons (Caspar and Alexander) and a daughter (Hope) who was born whilst Delaney was away on the expedition.[1]
