Rhonda Doyle, the newly-appointed country president for Schneider Electric in Ireland, has said she is eager to “drive the energy transition in Ireland”, as well as grow the market for the firm’s digital and automation solutions.
Doyle will assume the role of country president at the energy management firm on 1 June, taking over from Chris Collins, who will move to the role of senior vice president of Digital Buildings in the company’s US business at the start of July.
“The technology we need to tackle Ireland’s energy challenges exists today, and Schneider Electric is leading the way,” Doyle commented on her appointment. “There is a huge opportunity in Ireland to reduce carbon emissions across industry and buildings, while simultaneously driving growth and profitability.”
Role with Schneider Electric
Doyle joined Schneider Electric in 2021, most recently holding the position of vice president of Customer Operations in the UK and Ireland, and previously serving as senior director of Field Service Operations.
According to the company, she has been ‘instrumental’ in driving success since she first joined the company, helping to transform internal processes, improving performance and service delivery, and helping to build strong customer relationships.
“I am eager to work closely with our talented team to continue growing the market for digital and electrical solutions, enabling grids of the future, and helping to drive the energy transition in Ireland,” she added.
‘Strategic importance’
Commenting on her appointment, Kelly Becker, president of Schneider Electric UK and Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands, said that as an Irish national, Doyle understands Ireland’s “strategic importance, understands its specific opportunities and needs, and is focused on unlocking its full potential. She brings an innovative leadership style and a strong commitment to developing high-performing teams and the business.
“As our ambitions for Ireland expand, her ability to foster collaboration—both within Ireland and across other markets—will continue to be a key driver of our success.” Read more here.
