has been Head of Global Banking Ireland at
BNP Paribas
for over three months, but has been with BNPP for nine years.
Combined, he has 20 years banking experience with BNP Paribas and AIB. He is a senior investment banker with significant international experience (Ireland, Finland, Sweden, North America, and the Baltics). With strong roots anchored in Europe’s banking history, BNP Paribas supports its clients and employees in today’s changing world and is the leading bank in the eurozone and a prominent international banking institution.
What, in your view, is the biggest challenge facing directors in Ireland today?
Balancing business growth, regulation, compliance whilst remaining an authentic and strong role model for colleagues and other stakeholders.
What do you hope to gain from your membership with the IoD?
Having been away from Ireland for almost six years, I view IoD membership as a great opportunity to re-establish and broaden my professional network. I will also act as a board director for some BNPP companies and IoD membership provides valuable professional development opportunities.
