Mr O'Keeffe, currently head of the firm’s Assurance business will take up the role on July 1st.
He will succeed Mike McKerr, who takes up the position of Chairperson of EY Ireland.
Mr McKerr said: "While I still enjoy the role, I like to think a good leader knows when to hand over the reins. Taking on the role in 2009, I had a clear vision to generate market-leading growth and service for EY through the pride, belief and confidence of our people.
"I’m very proud that today we are reaching our growth ambitions, and have a leading people culture that embraces diversity and inclusion."
