New roles: Rahul Dhir, Ronan Ferry and Gavin Downes.

Here is a selection of people starting new roles in Ireland with Tullow Oil, Deloitte and Neon.

Rahul Dhir, who currently leads smaller Africa-focused oil and gas producer Delonex, has been announced as the new CEO of Tullow Oil. He brings significant experience to the role, with a mix of production (Cairn India) and exploration (Delonex) in Chad, Kenya and Ethiopia. He takes the helm at Tullow at a time when it is cutting its headcount by a third and trying to raise $1bn from selling at least part of its East African assets. Tullow has been under the interim leadership of executive chairman Dorothy Thompson since previous chief executive Paul McDade resigned in December after the group failed to hit production targets at flagship fields in Ghana.
