Anthony Cameron O'Reilly, generally known as Cameron O'Reilly, (born 28 April 1964) is a Dublin-born businessman with Irish and Australian citizenship, the son an Irish father, media magnate Tony O'Reilly and an Australian mother, Susan Cameron. Having managed one of Australia's largest press groups, he is currently managing director of Landis+Gyr, formerly the Bayard Group, which includes the world's largest electricity metering supplier, and has revenues of over 1.2 billion USD.
O'Reilly was brought up in Dublin and Kilcullen in Ireland until age five, then London in England for a couple of years, then in the U.S. at Fox Chapel, Pittsburgh until age 14. He finished school at Clongowes Wood, a Jesuit school near the main family home, Castlemartin, County Kildare, both historically owned by the same family.
He took his Irish Leaving Certificate in 1983, then attended Oxford University, graduating with an honours degree in politics, philosophy and economics, having represented the university in tennis, rugby and punting, and having led a motorcycle expedition from Oxford to China. He also represented Oxford in debating and was treasurer of the Oxford Union.
O'Reilly worked for the investment bank Goldman Sachs from the mid-1980s to 1988. He then returned to Ireland to work for a few months at Independent News & Media, the public company led by his father, before being moved to Australia, to a sales role on the regional side of APN News & Media, in which the O'Reilly family (via a trust) and Independent had invested. He was also appointed to the APN board of directors. APN at that time was already a major Australian press group, leading in local newspapers. After working in sales from 1988 to 1991, he was appointed general manager of the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin from 1991 to 1992, then deputy CEO of APN.
