Davies has appointed Matt Button as deputy group chief executive officer.

Button joined Davies in 2015 and has served as group M&A director, and latterly as CEO of Davies North America – now the firm’s largest business unit.

Dan Saulter, group CEO, said: “I am looking forward to working closely with Matt as he returns to a global role, having successfully grown our North America operations from zero to nearly US$500m annual revenues in the past five years. We are proud of our ten years of uninterrupted growth and we are looking forward to executing on our Vision-2030 goals.”

Commenting on his appointment, Button added: “I am very much looking forward to working with Dan and the rest of the team to deliver our global expansion plans and continuing to support our efforts to drive organic growth and great outcomes for clients."

Earlier in 2024 Davies announced the appointment of Amber Wilkinson to the role of group CFO, a role she takes up this month.

Following Button’s promotion, the firm will run an internal process this quarter to appoint a new CEO for Davies North America. In the interim, senior Davies executive, Dhara Patel, will step in.
