Callahan, Mary Ann
Managing director of global relations and development at the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation in New York, and president of the Americas’ Central Securities Depositories Association, Mary Ann Callahan has traveled the world as a respected industry leader in the international financial community.
Callahan achieved a bachelor’s from Manhattanville College in New York, and a master’s from NYU’s Stern Graduate School of Business. She is third generation Irish American on both sides, and her ancestors came from Keelough, Co. Mayo and Dublin.
“My maternal grandfather Harry Fullam served with the Fighting 69th during the First World War, so during my childhood, our family was proud to see him marching every year at the front of the St. Patrick’s Day parade,” recalls Callahan.
Callahan has visited Ireland many times, and is involved with the Immigrant Assistant Program as well as Invest Northern Ireland with her boyfriend, Peter Kennedy, whose family, “following hand-written directions from my parents and aunt, surprised me a few years ago by driving me to the stone church in Mayo where my great-grandparents had been baptized,” says Callahan.
