The Board of Dairygold Co-Op has appointed Conor Galvin as CEO-designate of the Society.
Mr Galvin will take up his new role with Dairygold from 1 January 2022 and will replace outgoing CEO Jim Woulfe.
Earlier this year Mr Woulfe announced his intention to step down from the role, leaving the business after 42 years.
Mr Galvin joined Dairygold in 2014 and since then has held a number of key positions.
He began his career as Country Finance Manager with Procter & Gamble, and immediately prior to joining Dairygold he spent almost six years with DCC Plc as Finance Director, DCC, Food & Beverages.
From a rural background in Co Westmeath, Mr Galvin holds a Primary Degree in Science followed by a PhD from University College Dublin and in addition an MBA from the Smurfit Business School.
"I am privileged to be appointed to the CEO-designate role in Dairygold," Mr Galvin said.
"I recognise the enormity of the role, the scale of the business and the challenges involved, and I look forward enthusiastically, in conjunction with the Board, to leading the continuing sustainable growth and development of the business in the years ahead," he added.
Dairygold Chairman, John O’ Gorman said they look forward to working with Mr Galvin, "to achieve Dairygold’s ongoing and long-term strategic ambitions."
