Interim CEO for the DAA
The airport operator DAA (formerly the Dublin Airport Authority) has appointed Catherine Gubbins as its interim chief executive officer, while the process of recruiting a permanent CEO progresses. This follows the departure of Dalton Philips to take up a role as CEO of the Greencore Group.
Gubbins joined the DAA in 2014 as group financial controller. She was appointed director of finance and became a member of DAA’s executive management team in 2019, and then became group CFO in February last year.
Before moving to the DAA she was a senior assurance and business manager with PwC Ireland, having worked in the firm for more than 16 years.
She has a degree in law and accounting from the University of Limerick and a Master of Accounting degree from UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School. (cj)
