David Drumm

David Drumm was chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank from 2005. He resigned his position following the resignation of chairman Seán FitzPatrick in December 2008, amid mounting revelations over hidden loans.^[1] The scandal precipitated a collapse of the bank's share price which in turn led to the bank's nationalisation on 21 January 2009.

Career

Drumm was born in the seaside suburb town of Skerries in north County Dublin. He joined Deloitte and Touche from school to train as a chartered accountant.

In 1988 he moved to the venture capital wing of the International Fund for Ireland, from which he obtained a position of assistant manager with Anglo Irish Bank.
