Enterprise Ireland CEO Leo Clancy to step down

Enterprise Ireland has announced that its CEO Leo Clancy will step down from the role to take up a new leadership role.

Michael Carey, Chairman of Enterprise Ireland said “Leo Clancy has notified me of his intention to step down as CEO of Enterprise Ireland in March 2025. Leo is leaving to pursue a new career opportunity in the private sector. This news comes at a time when the Agency is in a very strong position, having achieved record results in terms of client jobs and exports, spend in the Irish economy and support for start-ups”.

“Leo’s contribution to the success of Enterprise Ireland over the past four years has been exceptional and he will be greatly missed. We wish him well in the next phase of his career”, said Mr. Carey.

Enterprise Ireland will commence a recruitment process immediately to advertise the vacancy and appoint a new Chief Executive to the Agency. 

It is intended that Kevin Sherry, Executive Director and member of the Enterprise Ireland Senior Leadership Team, will be appointed interim CEO from March pending the appointment of a new Chief Executive.
