Ireland’s top women CEOs that are leading the business world in 2024

The best women chief executive officers (CEOs) have exhibited remarkable skills in reshaping work cultures, advocating for sustainability, orchestrating turnarounds, and enhancing profitability. Their achievements not only highlight their prowess but also signify a broader trend of breaking barriers and forging new paths in the corporate world.

Unfortunately, no female CEOs are currently leading any ISEQ 20 firms since the departure of Siobhán Talbot from Glanbia at the end of last year. However, the public and multinational sectors have taken steps to improve gender diversity in top-level positions.

These exceptional CEOs have showcased their ability to transform work environments, fostering cultures prioritizing inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation. By championing diversity and empowering employees, they have cultivated environments where individuals can thrive, contributing to enhanced productivity and organizational success.
