Speaking at the Cork central executive, O'Brien said: "I am ready for a challenge and I will give it my best shot."
He recently retired as chair of Barryroe Co-op, one of the four west Cork co-ops which owns and supplies Carbery Milk Products' cheese plant. He had chaired the Carbery board for two years and was also on the board of Ornua.
One of the reasons why he was encouraged to enter the race is his education and experience in corporate governance from UCC and the Ryan Academy in DCU while involved with ICOS and Carbery.
O'Brien's dairy herd has grown to 200 cows and also keeps a small pedigree Hereford breeding enterprise.
