President's Address

I am honoured to take on the role of President of the Irish Association of Corporate Treasurers. It is a privilege to represent such a vibrant and talented community of professionals dedicated to advancing treasury practices in Ireland. As we look ahead, I am confident that together we can continue to strengthen the role of treasury within the broader financial and business landscape.

Before I go any further, I want to take a moment to thank our outgoing President John James Dunne for his commitment and the work he has done over the past year. His efforts have been instrumental in laying the foundation for a number of initiatives we will build on in the coming year. I also want to sincerely thank Cian Butler who stepped down from the committee, for his invaluable contributions and dedication to the Association over the years.

One of my key focuses for this year is addressing social mobility challenges for young people aspiring to build careers in treasury. The path to a career in this field should not be hindered by barriers such as access to education or networking opportunities. As an Association, we have an important role to play in fostering inclusivity and supporting the next generation of treasury professionals through mentorship, outreach, and collaboration with educational institutions.

I look forward to working with all of you in the year ahead as we continue to build on the Association’s strong foundation. Together, let’s ensure that the Irish treasury community remains dynamic, forward-thinking, and inclusive for all. Thank you for your ongoing support, and I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a fantastic break over the holidays and all the very best for 2025!

Jason Murphy, President 2025
