Bank of Ireland has appointed James Magill as its new Chief People Officer, the bank confirmed on Tuesday.
Magill will assume the role in November and will take a seat on the Group Executive Committee, giving him a direct voice in the lender's strategic direction.
Magill joins the Irish banking group from Vodafone, where he served in a senior leadership capacity.
His appointment signals a continued focus on human capital and organizational culture as the bank navigates a period of digital transformation and operational restructuring.
The hire follows the recent announcement that Prag Sharma will join Bank of Ireland as Chief AI Officer in October.
Together, these appointments underscore the lender's dual strategy of embedding artificial intelligence into its operations while simultaneously overhauling its people management framework.
