CRH has confirmed its appointment of an interim chief financial officer who will take over from incoming chief executive officer Jim Mintern in 2025.
Alan Connolly has been appointed as the interim chief financial officer from January 1, 2025. Connolly will take over from Jim Mintern, who will step up as the chief executive officer of CRH from the start of next year.
Connolly’s appointment comes as CRH continues its process of finding a permanent successor to Mintern in the key position. The company confirmed it had engaged an independent recruitment consultant and is considering internal and external candidates for the role.
“Alan brings extensive and relevant expertise to the Interim Chief Financial Officer role and is deeply familiar with CRH’s business and financials,” Mintern said.
“As our Director of Strategic Finance, Alan and I have worked closely together on key finance initiatives, and I look forward to continuing to partner with him to execute on our strategy and drive value for our shareholders.
“We are grateful that he is stepping into this interim role while we conduct a search to identify a permanent chief financial officer.”
Connolly is a chartered accountant with more than three decades of experience. He has held several senior finance roles across the CRH’s European and Americas businesses. During his time with the company, Connolly served as director of strategic finance, finance and performance director of Europe Materials, chief financial officer of global building products, and director of group finance.
