CCI Executive Search is delighted to celebrate the successful appointment of David McCarthy as Head of Fundraising with the Crann Centre, following a recent executive search process that we were proud to support.
David joins Crann at an exciting stage in the organisation's development as it continues to strengthen its sustainable funding model and expand its reach to meet the growing demand for its life-changing services. Bringing extensive experience in fundraising, communications and leadership, David is well placed to support Crann's ambitious plans for growth and help secure the resources needed to increase its impact for children, adults and families living with neuro-physical disabilities across Ireland.
Welcoming David to the organisation, Padraig Mallon, CEO of Crann, said:
"I am delighted to welcome David to the Crann Centre team. His experience over many years will be a great addition to our fundraising team and leadership group. Our strategic objective is to ensure that the Crann Centre has the sustainable funding required to scale our reach and impact in response to demand for services, which is growing at 20% per year. David and the team are ready for this challenge. We are grateful to the many donors who have supported us to date and look forward to connecting with many more who are excited by the opportunity to create a brighter future for children, adults and families living with neuro-physical disabilities."
Speaking about joining Crann, David said:
"It’s a privilege to join such an important organisation, and I’m looking forward to working with the team, supporters and partners to help grow Crann’s impact in the years ahead. The Crann Centre is an incredible organisation supporting children, adults and families. I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in, learning from the team, and playing my part in supporting the next chapter in its development."
Congratulations to David on his appointment. We would also like to thank Padraig, the Board and everyone at Crann for the opportunity to partner with them on this important recruitment process. We wish David and the entire Crann team every success as they continue to expand their reach and create brighter futures for children, adults and families across Ireland.
