Dublin Port has appointed Barry O'Connell as its new chief executive.
Mr O’Connell is currently a CEO at Coca-Cola System in Malaysis, Singapore and Brunei.
Originally from Cork, he has worked with Coca-Cola in a variety of roles around the world for over two decades.
The new CEO will take up his position from November 14th.
"It is a privilege to be joining the Dublin Port Company team at this crucial time and to be able to play my part in developing the Port to meet the future needs of Dublin and the wider Irish economy," he said.
"I am very much looking forward to working with the Board and a highly competent and motivated team to continue to deliver value to customers, community and stakeholders."
Mr O’Connell will replace Eamonn O’Reilly who stepped down from the role in August.
He had been in the position for 12 years.
Mr O’Connell joins the port as it continues to deliver the final part of its Masterplan 2040 project.
It aims to futureproof the port for medium term and also integrate the port and the city.
"We are delighted to welcome Barry O’Connell as the next Chief Executive Officer of Dublin Port Company," said the chairperson of Dublin Port Company, Jerry Grant.
"We believe that he will build on the major achievements of the past ten years and continue to shape the evolution of this critical national infrastructure meeting Ireland’s international trade, climate and sustainability objectives in line with national port policy."
