Bank of Ireland Announces Management Changes
Meanwhile, Bank of Ireland's director of business banking John O'Beirne, who had been widely tipped internally as a future member of the group executive committee, handed in his notice last week. The spokesman confirmed his planned departure to The Irish Times, adding that Mr. O'Beirne will be taking up an "opportunity in the wider financial services sector". Ms. Russell has been acting as head of retail Ireland since last September, when its then chief executive, Gavin Kelly, was appointed interim chief executive of the wider group between the exit of Francesca McDonagh and appointment of Myles O'Grady to the role. Mr. Kelly was named in March as chief executive of the group's corporate and markets division, as it was expanded to also include business banking. She previously held senior positions in retail banking, finance, digital, strategy and operations at Bank of Ireland.
