Julie O'Neill has today taken up the position of Chairperson of Permanent TSB Group Holdings.
Ms O'Neill succeeds Robert Elliott who had previously announced his intention to retire from the Board at the end of March.
Julie O’Neill said the bank is entering an exciting phase following the transformational acquisition of certain elements of Ulster Bank’s Retail, SME and Asset Finance businesses.
"I look forward to working with the Board, Eamonn and the wider team to continue to drive the bank forward to future success and achieve our ambition of becoming Ireland’s best personal and small business bank," she said.
Eamonn Crowley, Permanent TSB's CEO said Ms O’Neill will bring a depth of experience, corporate governance and leadership skills to the bank.
"On behalf of the Board, Executive Committee and all colleagues throughout Permanent TSB, I also want to thank Robert Elliott most sincerely for his exceptional leadership over the last six years," Mr Crowley added.
