“I look forward to further strengthening that voice in Northern Ireland as we seek to build relationships with businesses across all sectors, politicians, local government and the public sector.”

Congratulating Kirsty on her appointment, IoD Northern Ireland Chair, Ian Sheppard, said: “Kirsty brings a wealth of relevant experience to the role and will build on the current foundations to further enhance the work of the Institute in supporting the development of professional leaders in Northern Ireland.”
