Interpath appoints new managing director in Ireland amidst advisory expansion

Interpath has appointed Conor McCarthy as a managing director within its corporate finance team in Ireland as the firm continues to expand its advisory offering.

McCarthy joins Interpath with 30 years’ experience in senior leadership roles in advisory and industry. 

Most recently, he was CEO of IT asset disposal business Wisetek where he worked alongside the founder until its successful acquisition by Iron Mountain in September 2024. 

Prior to that, he led the consumer packaging division of IPL Global, delivering a major step change in its performance, as well as a strategically important US acquisition.

From 2002, McCarthy was a corporate finance director at Dublin-based NCB and from 2012 held the role within the investment banking team at Investec. 

He spent a combined 16 years with NCB and Investec providing specialist support to CEOs and financial directors on a wide range of M&A, equity and debt raising transactions and went on to set up the firm’s debt advisory group. 

He worked with a European Investment bank on cross border deals into the UK before returning to Dublin.

At Interpath, McCarthy will work alongside head of corporate finance advisory Liam Booth within the growing deals practice, leaning into his experience across CF, debt advisory, restructuring, and value creation to support clients across the firm.

McCarthy’s appointment comes as Interpath also hired two senior dealmakers, managing directors Enrique Aguado and Álvaro Ruiz Urrutia in Spain following the launch of operations in the country in early April 2025. 

Interpath also recently announced the hire of M&A director Gary Borland who has joined to lead the firm’s Renewable Energy practice in Ireland.

McCarthy said: “I have been really impressed by what the team at Interpath has already achieved in just a few years and its ambitions for further expansion in the Irish and wider European market. The firm is a true multi-disciplinary disruptor, with a refreshingly entrepreneurial mindset.” 

He added: “…Whether through M&A and the significant influx of private equity capital to Ireland, the debt markets or value creation, I’m at Interpath to help management teams navigate these volatile times and draw on my advisory and industry experience to deliver what works on the ground and can bring about real change.”
