Resolution announces the appointment of Pat Butler as Operating Partner

In a career spanning 25 years at McKinsey, Pat has advised banking, insurance and asset management clients in the U.K., Europe, South Africa Australia and the U.S. on corporate strategy, business unit strategy, marketing, organisation design and operations. He has also provided hands-on support in implementing strategy, making and integrating acquisitions, risk management and overall performance improvement. In recent years he has helped insurers and asset managers develop responses to new challenges as their industries globalise, and he has been intimately involved in the rescue and restructuring of several banks in the financial crisis, as well as the restructuring of the banking system in several countries. In his time at McKinsey & Co Pat has also advised companies in a wide range of industries beyond financial services. 

Pat graduated from University College Dublin with a first class honours degree in Commerce and qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Arthur Andersen & Co. 

At The Resolution Group, Pat will have specific responsibilities for developing strategies for further restructuring projects within the financial services industry and related acquisitions, and for the strategic and operational repositioning of acquired businesses. More broadly Pat will bring to The Resolution Group an extensive network of relationships across Europe. 

Commenting on Pat's appointment, John Tiner, CEO of The Resolution Group said: "We are delighted that Pat is joining The Resolution Group. He brings extensive new skills and industry insights that will complement the strong team at The Resolution Group, as we deliver value from the UK life project and investigate further restructuring projects on behalf of investors". 

Pat Butler said: "I have worked with the Resolution team for many years and am excited about their current plans and longer term aspirations. I am delighted to be joining the team as it seeks to conclude the acquisition phase of the UK life project and drive value from the acquired businesses in preparation for its successful completion, and looks to originate new projects".
