Mayo man honoured at DCU Alumni Awards

Dublin City University today presented 2023 Alumni Awards to outstanding alumni, including Mayo man Kevin Tuohy.

The DCU Alumni Awards honour alumni who, through their exceptional ability and leadership, have achieved excellence in their chosen fields of endeavour.

Now living in Cavan, Kevin Touhy is director of Software Engineering, IT People & Finance at Aer Lingus.

On graduating in 1999 he built his career initially in New York, before returning to Ireland in 2002 to become technical lead at Cúram Software.

Over the two decades since, and across a number of roles, Kevin has evolved a distinct style of leadership in the software engineering sector with a keen focus on delivering exceptional customer value.

Today, Kevin leads a team of over 300 professionals at Aer Lingus, an employer recognised for the quality of its onboarding and training programs and a best in class supportive culture in the engineering space.

The 2023 Alumni Award recipients represent all five faculties of study at DCU - Business School, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Institute of Education, Faculty of Science and Health and Faculty of Engineering and Computing.

The achievements of these eight exceptional graduates were celebrated at a special ceremony in The Helix on DCU’s Glasnevin campus.
