Irish outsourcing firm Abtran has appointed Aisling Deasy as its group chief executive.
Abtran, which employs 1,400 people in Cork and Sligo, is a specialist provider of services in sectors including government, transport, utilities and financial services. Its customers include Electric Ireland.
Michael Fitzgerald, co-founder and Chairman of Abtran, said it was "excellent" that its new group CEO had been appointed from within its own organisation.
"Aisling brings immense expertise, insight and experience to this role and this will continue to be of great benefit to our clients, our business and all our people as we continue to grow and develop our business for the future," Mr Fitzgerald said.
Ms Deasy joined Abtran in 2013 and was most recently the company's Chief Performance Officer, while she also served as its Chief Information Officer.
Before joining Abtran, she worked for a number of leading international consulting companies.
