Dairygold Co-Operative Society is pleased to announce the appointment of JP McGrath as the Society’s new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who now succeeds Dairygold Chief Executive Michael Harte as CFO.
JP joined Dairygold last week from Bord na Móna, where he served as both Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operational Officer of the semi-state energy company.
During his five years with Bord na Móna, McGrath played a key role in helping to drive the company’s ‘Brown to Green’ transition from peat harvesting to a fully renewable energy and waste recycling business, delivering consecutive years of record profitability for the company.
Prior to Bord na Móna, JP held senior positions, including chief financial officer of Norbrook Laboratories and senior roles at Aryzta, including managing director of its €1 billion turnover European and Asia-Pacific division.
Commenting on JP McGrath’s appointment, Dairygold Chief Executive, Michael Harte said: “On behalf of everyone in Dairygold, I welcome JP to the organisation. JP’s experience in financial, commercial and operational management makes him an excellent addition to our senior leadership team. His experience will play a critical role in driving our business strategy, to build a stronger, more resilient and sustainable Dairygold.”
