FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Longtime Mariner executive and community leader to drive meaningful outcomes in healthcare, AI, data, and public sector transformation.
Saint John, N.B. – August 27, 2025 – Mariner, a leader in technology consulting and solutions, is proud to announce that longtime executive Nancy Butler will now lead the company’s strategic growth and client engagement across New Brunswick—reinforcing its strong focus on the province and its future.
A New Brunswick resident with almost 20 years at Mariner, Nancy brings exceptional experience, trusted leadership, and deep local insight to this role. Her appointment reflects Mariner’s enduring belief in the power of regional leadership, placing responsibility in the hands of someone who not only understands the business landscape but also lives and works in the province and contributes meaningfully to its communities.
“Though I’m originally from Newfoundland, New Brunswick is where I’ve grown deep roots and built lasting relationships,” said Butler. “I care deeply about the people and organizations here, and I’m passionate about helping them solve tough problems with practical, people-first innovation. We’re not just offering consulting – we’re building trust, co-creating solutions, and having fun while doing it.”
Nancy’s career at Mariner spans roles such as Vice President of Operations & Delivery, and Vice President of R&D and Product Management with Mariner’s Product line of business. A problem-solver at heart, with a natural curiosity and a strong grasp of technology, she has guided teams, transformed operations, and delivered critical solutions across telecom, utilities, and government sectors.
In this role, Nancy will work closely with clients and partners across New Brunswick, particularly in healthcare and the public sector, to navigate complex transformation initiatives. She will support organizations embracing change by helping them harness the power of data, adopt AI responsibly, strengthen their cybersecurity posture, and manage change effectively. Her approach is rooted in empathy, business insight, and a deep commitment to driving outcomes that matter.
“Nancy represents the best of Mariner,” said Paul Eisner, President of Mariner Innovations. “She brings hands-on experience, strategic insight, and a genuine connection to the region. Her expanded leadership strengthens our presence in New Brunswick and enhances our ability to deliver meaningful outcomes for clients across the province.”
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Nancy is a dedicated community member. Coaching is something Nancy has done through her role at Mariner but also with local basketball communities. For a number of years, she has been a volunteer, coach, and major supporter of her kids as they grew up on the fields and courts of New Brunswick. She sees the ongoing benefits of putting in the effort with her community inside and outside of the “day” job.
Inside of Mariner, Nancy was also key to leading the ongoing participation in university and college work term programs. Seeing the new grads choose Mariner, getting to watch them grow through the years inside of an organization, and build families of their own in their hometown has been extremely meaningful.
Her recent appointment to the TechImpact board further highlights her role in advancing digital progress across Atlantic Canada.
Nancy looks forward to working with organizations across the province to tackle challenges, seize opportunities, and help shape a more connected, resilient, and innovative New Brunswick.
