Head of legal and compliance | Greencore
General counsel | Greencore
Established by the Irish government in 1991 following the privatisation of Irish Sugar, Greencore is a fast growing, international convenience food company and the world’s largest sandwich manufacturer. Praised by sources for her extensive business knowledge, commercial acumen and strong expertise in the food sector, Jolene Gacquin was the ideal person to take the helm of the Group’s legal and compliance function in December 2016. During her short period in the role, Gacquin has already impressed with notable reliability in handling issues across the Group’s UK, US and Irish operations. Gacquin has been at Greencore since the start of her career. She joined the company as an assistant to the secretariat and subsequently worked as a deputy group secretary for over six years. In addition to her role at Greencore, since 2015 Gacquin has also served as a board director and company secretary at the Galway Simon Community, a charity that helps homeless people in the west of Ireland.
