PayPal has appointed Louise Phelan as vice president, Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Ireland, Middle East and Africa. Maeve Dorman has been promoted to head of global operations, EMEA and takes over many of Phelan’s recent responsibilities.

In her new role, Phelan will take responsibility for growing revenue and customers for PayPal in more than 100 countries, including Ireland, across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Phelan joined PayPal from the senior management team of GE Money in 2006, when PayPal had 200 employees in Ireland. She has overseen significant growth and expansion with employee numbers currently at more than 2,600 in Dublin and Dundalk, and is on track to grow to 3,000 by 2018. She has held a number of senior leadership roles in her time at PayPal before becoming VP of Global Operations in EMEA in 2012.

Maeve Dorman also joined PayPal in 2006. In her most recent role, she has served as PayPal’s senior director of telesales and merchant operations, EMEA and Australia from 2013.

Both executives will be based in Ireland.

“I’ve enjoyed my 10 years in PayPal’s global operations team immensely and I’m proud to have lead EMEA operations through such exceptional growth. I’m very excited to be given the opportunity to lead this extensive new business unit and to drive growth across the entire region,” said Phelan. “I’m also delighted that Maeve Dorman will assume responsibility for our operations centres in Dublin and Dundalk. Maeve has extensive leadership experience and her passion for PayPal’s customers and teammates is evident in everything she does.”
