She served as the Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland on an acting basis from June 2019 to August 2019, having occupied increasingly senior positions in economics, consumer protection and regulatory roles since joining the body in 1996.[1] As of 1 July 2022 she is responsible for financial regulation in Ireland.
