The Board of Ryanair Holdings PLC today (1 Oct) announced the
appointment of Mr. Geoff P. Doherty as a non-executive director
with immediate effect. Mr Doherty is the current CFO of Kingspan
Group PLC, where he is also a member of the Board of Directors. Mr
Doherty has extensive PLC experience having previously been a
member of the Greencore Group PLC Board as well as Kingspan.
A qualified chartered accountant, Mr Doherty will also join
Ryanair's Audit Committee.
Ryanair's Chairman Stan McCarthy said:
"We are very pleased to welcome Geoff Doherty to the Board of
Ryanair Holdings. Given Geoff's considerable experience and skills
in the field of finance, as both a main Board Director and CFO, he
will, we believe, be a significant and valuable addition to both
our Board and our Audit Committee.
Geoff is currently the CFO of Kingspan Group, which is a company
Ryanair greatly admires. Like them, Ryanair is growing rapidly,
investing heavily in new environmentally efficient technology, is
capitalising on significant growth opportunities post Covid-19, and
is expanding rapidly across many European markets outside of
Ireland. We are delighted to welcome Geoff to the team, and we all
look forward to working with him over the coming years to achieve
