Carolan Lennon is joining customer relationship management company Salesforce Ireland as country leader here from July 1.
The former Eir CEO will lead the company's Irish business through its next phase of growth and will report to Zahra Bahrololoumi, CEO of Salesforce UK and Ireland.
Salesforce opened its European headquarters in Ireland in 2000 and later this year is due to open its Salesforce Tower Dublin office on North Wall Quay in the city.
Carolan Lennon is taking over at Salesforce Ireland from Dr David Dempsey, who has led the company here over the past 22 years.
Mr Dempsey will remain at Salesforce as a senior advisor and board member.
"Salesforce is a unique company, focused on providing leading technology whilst being committed to a set of core values and the wider role that businesses can play in society. I can't wait to join this talented team and continue its outstanding work," Carolan Lennon said.
"Carolan is an experienced business leader and I'm thrilled to welcome her to Salesforce," said Zahra Bahrololoumi, CEO of Salesforce UK and Ireland.
"Ireland is an important market and talent hub for Salesforce and with Carolan's leadership we are well placed to move into the next stage of growth and success for Salesforce, our customers, partners and communities," Zahra Bahrololoumi added.
Carolan Lennon in January announced that she was leaving Eir after four years in the CEO job.
