Ocuco Announces CTO, Board Expansion, and New Chief Product Officer
Understand the event
Dublin-based optical software provider Ocuco has issued three simultaneous announcements dated October 9, 2026, detailing leadership changes that took effect in September 2025. The first report confirms the appointment of Iarfhlaith Kelly as Chief Technology Officer, noting her background includes over 20 years of technology leadership experience and prior CTO roles at unspecified organizations. The second announcement reveals the addition of optometrist and technology executive Scott Jens, OD, FAAO, to the Board of Directors, a move explicitly linked to supporting Ocuco’s strategic expansion into the US eyecare market. A newly surfaced third disclosure announces the appointment of Clodagh Nic Canna as Chief Product Officer. According to the report, Nic Canna previously led the company’s Product Development Department for twelve years and is described as a member, though the source text cuts off before specifying her membership details. All three disclosures highlight a significant time lag between the effective dates of these appointments (September 2025) and their public announcement (October 2026). While the reports establish the identities of the new leaders and the general purpose of the board expansion, they do not provide specific details on Kelly’s previous employers or the precise operational strategies resulting from these governance changes.
