Ciarán Cosgrave

Ciarán is CEO of Nearform, which he joined in 2021 to lead its next phase of growth. He arrived from Accenture, where he was managing director for Europe, following a VP role at cloud advisory firm Cloud Sherpas and CTO positions across IT services, bringing more than twenty years in technology strategy and leadership. His focus now is Nearform's shift to AI-native engineering: treating AI as a core engineering discipline rather than a reactive bolt-on, and building the AI services firm enterprises will depend on over the next decade.
