Tom brings over two decades of leadership experience across sustainability, food and beverage, and strategic communications. Additional appointments will be announced in the coming weeks, reinforcing the organisation’s mission and enhancing its ability to serve the sector.
Tom has previously served as head of stakeholder and client services at a leading sustainability services firm, where he led commercial and marketing activities to deliver sustainability-centred services for major clients, including IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and various UK water utilities. His career also includes leadership roles at Green Isle Foods and GSK Sports Nutrition, as well as strategic communications work with Bank of Ireland.
Welcoming the appointment, Tom Moran, interim chair of Our Food Connects, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tom. His track record in driving collaboration and delivering impact across sustainability and food sectors makes him ideally placed to lead Our Food Connects. We look forward to working with and supporting Tom as he helps grow the reach and relevance of this important initiative.”
Commenting on his appointment, Tom said: “Ireland’s food industry is one of our greatest national assets. Its future will be defined by our ability to work together across the value chain – from farm to fork – to protect our land, water, and communities, and by how we engage with the Irish public to deepen their understanding and appreciation for the sector. I’m looking forward to leading Our Food Connects in creating that future.”
