Drivalia, the rental and mobility company of the CA Auto Bank Group, has appointed Damien Keogh as new Commercial Director of Drivalia Lease Ireland. Keogh succeeds Jimmy Connellan who is retiring. To ensure a smooth handover, both will collaborate closely over the coming months.
Reporting directly to Managing Director Olivier Mantoulan, Keogh brings over two decades of motor industry expertise to his new position. Since joining the business in 2012 (then Merrion Fleet), Keogh has been a cornerstone of the leadership team, most recently serving as Head of New Business where he oversaw fleet acquisition and profitability for corporate and SME sectors. Following the 2023 acquisition by CA Auto Bank and the subsequent transition to Drivalia Lease Ireland, he has continued to be a driving force behind the company’s new business strategy.
“I am honoured to lead our Commercial & Customer Operations at such a transformative stage for Drivalia” stated Damien Keogh. “My focus is to leverage our deep industry roots to not only drive growth but to redefine what mobility means for our clients. By integrating proactive fleet management with innovative digital solutions, we will ensure our customers stay ahead in an ever-evolving market”.
