In Barden we are very proud that Ornaith Giblin has been mandated by the CFO of a prestigious Aircraft Leasing company, headquartered in Dublin, to lead an exclusive, retained, search to appoint a Senior VP of Finance.

This is more than just a finance position—it’s a strategic leadership role with an opportunity to make a real impact.

Your expertise and influence will be instrumental in scaling operations, enhancing performance, and delivering on bold growth objectives.” – CFO
