O’Kelly to head NTMA in 2015

Senior stockbroker Conor O’Kelly will replace John Corrigan as head of the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA).

Mr O’Kelly, who is deputy chairman of Investec Ireland, will take up the position on January 4 next year, bringing to an end Mr Corrigan’s five-year term as head of the debt management agency. This is the first time that the head of the NTMA has been recruited directly from the private sector.

Prior to Investec taking over NCB in 2012, Mr O’Kelly had been head of NCB for 18 years. He was head of the bond desk at the stockbroking firm for a number of years.
