Donal Connell has been appointed the new Chief Executive of An Post.
Mr. Connell was previously General Manager of Maxtor Ireland, a computer hardware company, and Vice President of Worldwide Supply Chain Operations for 3Com Corporation.
He replaces Donall Curtin who is stepping down in July.
Margaret McGinley, Chairperson of An Post said that Mr Connell is eminently qualified to steer An Post through the next critical stage of its development.
Mr. Connell said that the role is a particular honour for him because he father spent his career in the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, and he also spent the early part of his career there.
He said he is looking forward with working with the An Post team to meet the company's objectives in a rapidly changing environment and to provide an excellent service.
