About

With a total career with AIB spanning almost a decade-and-a-half Carol Drury has amassed a wealth of knowledge into the company’s operations, and has been engaged in a number of senior positions in legal teams around the AIB group. From 2003 to 2012 she worked with AIB Capital Markets, eventually rising to the position of head of corporate legal and securities services. Making the move to Allied Irish Banks proper in 2012, Drury was head of corporate and business legal services (including enforcement) for three years, before moving into her current role of head of legal for retail and the National Asset Management Agency and restructuring legal teams. As such, since 2014 Drury has been involved with the restructuring of the bank’s assets; from 2011 to 2017 the bank was gradually nationalised. In June 2017, the newly nationalised entity participated in a capital-raising IPO which raised €3bn for a total company valuation of €12bn. Drury’s excellent performance on this and many other significant projects while with AIB mark her out as one of the leading in-house legal counsel in the sector in Ireland.
