Amrop Expands in Ireland

April 28, 2023 – Amrop, a global leadership advisory and executive search partnership, has expanded in Ireland with the addition of Catherine Tempany as a new partner. She has over 25 years’ business experience at senior management level with a range of Irish and international companies. As an executive search consultant, her focus has been on international C-suite roles across various sectors.

Previously, Ms. Tempany held a number of senior commercial and operations roles at O2 Ireland, Vodafone Ireland, and American Airlines. As a qualified leadership and executive coach, she brings to Amrop a coaching perspective and insight to her executive search practice. She has extensive international experience having worked in Ireland, the U.S., the U.K., Belgium, Spain, and Switzerland. Ms. Tempany speaks English, French, and Spanish. During her career, she has gained experience in operations, sales, marketing, and executive search consultancy, across a range of industries including telecoms and technology, consumer and retail, professional services, and aviation.

Ireland has a modern knowledge economy, focusing on services and high-tech industries and dependent on trade, industry, and investment. The country’s famous drinks industry employs about 92,000 people and contributes billions to the Irish economy, making it one of its biggest sectors. It supports jobs in agriculture, distilling, and brewing. But a growing financial services sector base is also important, employing some 35,000 people and contributing billions in taxes annually to the Irish economy. Ireland is the seventh largest provider of wholesale financial services in Europe.

Founded in 1977, Amrop advises organizations in executive search, board, and leadership services. The organization has 67 offices in 54 countries.
