Ballybunion has appointed Orla Philippon as CEO, following approval from the Central Bank of Ireland.
Philippon first joined the independent asset management group in 2018 and assisted the company on its recent integration project, following its acquisition by JTC in 2021.
An experienced funds industry specialist, Philippon takes over from Ballybunion founder Patrick O’Sullivan, who will continue as non-executive director for the firm.
Commenting on her new role, Philippon says: “I am over the moon to have been appointed CEO of Ballybunion. With our refreshed brand as a JTC Group company, and with a new office in Dublin, I am looking forward to working with our clients, friends and colleagues to not just take Ballybunion’s success to new heights, but to also contribute to the success of JTC as a whole.”
O’Sullivan adds: “As founder I will continue to be close to our clients and I look forward to supporting Orla and the Ballybunion team with the development of the company going forward. I am confident that Orla will do a sterling job”.
