Skip McGee, a Veteran of Wall Street, Starts Anew With Intrepid

Hugh “Skip” McGee, the energy banker who rose to become Barclays Plc’s top-paid executive before he stunned Wall Street by resigning last year, is returning to his roots.

McGee has opened a new firm, Intrepid Financial Partners, to advise energy and power companies. It has six employees, a seed investor, a newly furnished office in New York and an empty one in Houston.
