RTÉ is tonight announcing that Mari Hurley has decided to leave her role as RTÉ’s Chief Financial Officer to take up a new position outside RTÉ. Mari will remain with RTÉ until spring.
Commenting, RTÉ Director General, Kevin Bakhurst said: “Since she joined RTÉ in 2024, Mari has provided excellent professional advice, insight and support to me and to the Leadership Team in what has been a challenging time for the organisation. I would like to thank her for the significant amount that she has achieved during her time in RTÉ which has been helpful in putting the organisation back on a financially sustainable path.
Mari has been meticulous in dealing with legacy issues as we put a robust governance framework in place for the future and we are grateful to her for that. I would like to offer Mari my very best wishes for her new role.”
Mari Hurley said: “RTÉ continues to perform a vital role for Irish audiences as a public service media organisation. The extensive work we have done during my time in RTÉ has been an important part of the delivery of greater governance across the organisation.
