Shane Nolan will take over from Mick Dawson as CEO of Leinster rugby with the latter staying on until November to facilitate the transition process. Dawson played an instrumental role in helping to turn Leinster into one of the best and most successful club sides in Europe during his 21 years with the province.
A native of Navan, Nolan was educated at St Vincent’s, Castleknock College where he was a head prefect and then at NUIG where he captained the rugby 1st XV and while a student in Galway represented the Connacht Under-20s. He subsequently played for Navan RFC and is a decade long Leinster Rugby season ticket holder.
He has also held non-executive roles in Plan Ireland, IAB Ireland and Buy4Now Ltd. Before joining Google in 2011, he held executive management roles in eircom, BT Plc and Fujitsu. He said: “I am thrilled and honoured to be taking on the role of Leinster Rugby CEO. IRFU CEO Kevin Potts said: “Shane was a standout candidate in a very strong field of applicants. Shane’s impressive senior leadership experience, rugby background and passion for the game will provide Leinster Rugby with another great leader following on from the departure of Mick Dawson.
