New Lisney chief executive Aoife Brennan
Lisney, one of Ireland’s largest and longest-established independently owned and operated property advisory companies, has appointed Aoife Brennan as its chief executive officer.
She succeeds David Byrne following his six-year tenure in the role. David will continue to lead the residential division as managing director of Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty, while James Nugent will lead the commercial business as managing director of Lisney Commercial Real Estate.
Ms Brennan joined Lisney in 2006 and has worked within the research, investment, land and valuation divisions during her tenure. For the past 18 years, she has led Lisney’s Research & Consultancy division, a data-driven function that supports internal teams as well as a wide range of institutional, private and public sector clients.
Interestingly, she is the second woman coming from a property and economic research pathway to become chief executive of an Irish property brokerage as Marian Finnegan followed a similar path to become chief executive of Sherry FitzGerald Group.
