The office is headed by Conor O’Brien, Managing Director for the Irish branch.

Xavier Parain, Group CEO of FundRock added “As a truly pan-European player, we hope the addition of this office will demonstrate not only our commitment to Ireland and the Irish market but to all our clients and partners as we are constantly seeking ways to strengthen our offering”.
Commenting on the announcement Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys said “
I am delighted to see FundRock expanding their presence in Ireland with the opening of this Limerick office and 45 new jobs over the next 18 months.
