Kenny Jacobs is an Irish businessman, born in Cork. Jacobs graduated from University College Cork in 1997 with a degree in commerce. He was announced as CEO of the DAA in November 2022, and began in January 2023.
His previous roles included Chief Marketing Officer at Ryanair. When Jacobs arrived at Ryanair in 2014, it was as part of a move by the airline to – as Michael O’Leary had put it – “stop unnecessarily pissing people off”.
He has also worked for major companies including the Metro Group, MoneySuperMarket, and Tesco in Ireland and the UK.
