AIB has named Geraldine Casey, a one-time executive with Tesco Ireland who joined the bank in 2019, as the managing director of its key retail banking division. Ms Casey, previously AIB s chief people officer, succeeds Jim O Keeffe, who left the bank during the summer after more than three decades with the lender. Before joining AIB, the executive had spent 19 years with Tesco Ireland, where she had started off on a graduate programme.

AIB has backfilled Ms. Casey s previous position with David McCormack, who was previously deputy chief people officer. The bank has also named Graham Fagan as chief technology officer, succeeding Fergal Coburn, who also departed the group in recent months after more than 22 years.
