Patrick Butcher

CFO | NED
United Kingdom

For more than 25 years as a CFO, I have been privileged to be in a position to support people on their career and life journeys. My passion is to unlock potential through a holistic approach. I help people achieve sustainable excellence through active management of balance across all the dimensions of an individual’s life. It all starts by helping you clarify your thinking about your real priorities and working through what that means in terms of short, medium and longer-term focus. I have been a CFO in public sector, private equity and UK listed organisations, covering many different sectors and organisation sizes. So, in addition to sharing my knowledge and experience with you, I can help you identify and plan to address any skill gaps in your journey towards becoming a CFO and helping you develop in role.
