Julie Sinnamon is stepping down as Chief Executive of Enterprise Ireland later this year.

Ms. Sinnamon has led the government agency responsible for developing Irish businesses globally since late 2013.

Prior to that, she held a number of senior public sector positions, spanning a 30-year career in Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland.

"Julie has made a hugely significant contribution to Enterprise Ireland and the growth of Irish enterprises around the world during her tenure as CEO," Enterprise Ireland Chairman, Terence O'Rourke said.

"A record 221,895 people are now employed by Enterprise Ireland-backed companies, with exports of almost €24bn, the highest in the history of the agency.

"It has been my absolute privilege and joy to work with ambitious companies throughout Ireland to help them realise their potential on the global stage," Julie Sinnamon, CEO of Enterprise Ireland, said.

"I will work with the organisation until later in the year to ensure an orderly transition and, in the meantime, will continue to devote all of my efforts to help colleagues and clients achieve further success in global markets and in the development of Enterprise Ireland's new 2021-2025 Corporate Strategy".
