Bloomberg to double Dublin headcount by 2030

Bloomberg, the US business, technology and financial information provider, has announced plans to double its workforce in Dublin by the end of the decade. The company currently employs 190 people in its largest European office in the Irish capital. Two new senior leaders have been appointed to help steer this expansion: Amanda Brady, who will lead the company's operations in Ireland, and Richard Norton, who will oversee the engineering team.

Both have extensive experience in financial services and technology leadership roles in the US, Australia, and the UK.

The announcement comes as Bloomberg has already doubled its Dublin headcount in the past year, following a move to a new "purpose-built hub" location in November. Bloomberg's Dublin teams are responsible for developing critical products relied upon daily by financial professionals worldwide. The company sees increasing demand for its innovative solutions and services.

IDA Ireland, Ireland's investment authority, supports Bloomberg's plans. CEO Michael Lohan highlighted the strength of Ireland's technology, data and financial services sectors, noting the decision demonstrates Ireland's position as a leading destination for global tech companies. He added that the expansion will create highly skilled roles, capitalizing on Ireland's deep pool of STEM and technology talent.
