Enterprise Ireland CEO to Step Down
Enterprise Ireland, the Government agency responsible for developing Irish business globally, has announced that its Chief Executive Officer Julie Sinnamon (pictured above) is to step down from her role later this year.
Enterprise Ireland Chairman, Terence O’Rourke, paid tribute to Julie Sinnamon saying: “Julie has made a hugely significant contribution to Enterprise Ireland and the growth of Irish enterprises around the world during her tenure as CEO. A record 221,895 people are now employed by Enterprise Ireland backed companies, with exports of almost €24 billion, the highest in the history of the agency. I would like to thank Julie for her work as CEO, her leadership of the Enterprise Ireland team and for her commitment and dedication in supporting our client companies, ensuring that Irish enterprise is in a very strong position for the future.”
Julie Sinnamon, CEO of Enterprise Ireland, said: “It has been, and remains, an honour to lead this organisation and to work with colleagues throughout Ireland and globally to support the success of Irish exporters. I would like to thank our Chairman and Board, colleagues across the agency and in Government, and our clients for their support throughout my time as CEO. It has also been my absolute privilege and joy to work with ambitious companies throughout Ireland to help them realise their potential on the global stage. I will work with the organisation until later in the year to ensure an orderly transition and, in the meantime, will continue to devote all of my efforts to help colleagues and clients achieve further success in global markets.”
Enterprise Ireland will soon begin the recruitment process for a new CEO.
