Nick Leeson - Aftermath

Aftermath

Nick Leeson's first wife Lisa divorced him while he was in prison. He married Leona Tormay, in 2003 and they now live in Barna, County Galway, in the west of Ireland. He is a regular guest on the after-dinner and keynote speaking circuit. He was appointed Commercial Manager of Galway United Football Club in April 2005, rising to the position of General Manager in late November 2005. By July 2007 he had become the club's CEO but in February 2011, Leeson resigned his position. Leeson remains as a member of the board of directors of the club, but no longer has any role in the day to day operation of the club. He still deals in the stock markets, but only with his own money.

In June 2005, Leeson released a new book, Back from the Brink: Coping with Stress. It picks up his story where Rogue Trader left off, including in-depth conversations with psychologist Ivan Tyrrell asserting that the prolonged periods of severe stress that affected Leeson's mental and physical health have parallels in many other people's lives.
