New Alliance Bank CEO Peyton Patterson has lived the banking M&A cycle from all vantage points. She created New Alliance, the second largest bank in Connecticut, in 2004 with an innovative three-way merger. Late last year, she signaled an end to her tenure when she engineered its $1.5 billion sale to First Niagara.
The New Alliance/First Niagara deal started the next wave of mid-tier mergers, a trend that's likely to redefine the retail banking landscape for years to come.
Hear Patterson's take on the deal, the industry, and her future; along with insights from key executives in the thick of the M&A market; investment bankers; strategy consultants; regulators and integration pros at American Banker's first-ever M&A Symposium this June.
Focusing on the important strategies behind identifiying potential merger partners, and executing the mergers once the ink is dry, this event is uniquely suited to CEOs, CFOs, General Counsels and heads of retail banking.
