Strengthening Our Team for the Future
Saint-Gobain Ireland is pleased to announce a number of organisational
developments aligned with our Lead and Grow strategy and our ambition to
deliver a fully integrated Saint-Gobain solutions offering for the Irish

As part of this evolution, we are delighted to announce two key leadership appointments: Finn O’Gorman has been appointed National Accounts Manager and Evan O’Keeffe has been appointed as Head of Integrated Solutions.
These appointments mark an important step in strengthening our customer-focused approach, with both functions set to play a critical role in accelerating growth, enhancing collaboration across our brands, and expanding our integrated solutions offering. As these strategic priorities continue to develop, both teams will also grow, creating additional capability and expertise to
support customers across the Irish construction sector.
