Interpath announces appointment of Amanda Blackhall O’Sullivan

Interpath Advisory has strengthened the leadership of its financial restructuring team. Amanda Blackhall O’Sullivan will become a managing director with the firm in early 2025.

Commenting on Blackhall O’Sullivan’s appointment, Mark Raddan, CEO of Interpath, said, “Amanda is one of the preeminent practitioners in the field, having advised on some of the most high-profile cases in the market, so I am absolutely delighted to welcome her to Interpath.”

According to Radan, the appointment will help Interpath meet with demand in “challenging times” for its clients. With a wide range of macro factors including inflation, the high cost of borrowing and geopolitical turbulence still at play, companies and their stakeholders are walking a financial tightrope – and a growing number are being pushed into financial distress.

Blackhall O’Sullivan’s experience of delivering large, complex, cross-border restructurings will help Interpath to further grow and expand its financial restructuring capabilities, both in the UK and beyond. Her arrival will also strengthen the leadership of Interpath’s wider financial restructuring team, driven by managing director James Fagan, which has advised on a number of significant financial restructuring engagements, both in the UK and globally.

Having spent 30 years in the restructuring sector, she has consistently provided distressed financial advisory services, and delivered large scale complex restructurings to diverse stakeholder groups, including capital providers, corporate boards, sponsors and government. Prior to joining Interpath, Blackhall O’Sullivan was previously a partner in the turnaround and restructuring strategy practice at EY-Parthenon, leading the firm’s creditor advisory team.

Blackhall O’Sullivan said herself, “Interpath’s long-standing heritage in financial restructuring, coupled with the strength of its ambitions to grow and expand at pace, make this a really exciting time to be joining the firm. The collaboration that I’ve already seen happening across the business, both between different service lines and different geographies, means there is a real opportunity to help companies and their stakeholders to unpick and solve complex problems. I look forward to joining the team early next year and can’t wait to get started.”
