Venture Capital & Private Equity
Operational due diligence, portfolio company improvement, and interim executive leadership for PE and VC-backed businesses — with a proven track record of exits and rapid operational transformation.
Portfolio Companies Need Operators, Not Advisors
PE and VC-backed companies face operational challenges that require immediate, experienced leadership — not recommendations that get handed off to an already-stretched management team. Whether it's a due diligence finding that needs to be addressed post-close, a portfolio company that's underperforming operationally, or an interim leadership gap during a transition, the need is for someone who can step in and move quickly.
Patrick has operated at the executive level across the full business lifecycle — from founding through exit — giving him the credibility, speed, and practical toolkit that PE and VC portfolios require.

From Diligence Finding to Operational Reality
Twice executed exit strategies for fulfillment businesses, including one acquired by Rakuten at 70% year-over-year growth. Understanding what buyers evaluate — operational systems, technology infrastructure, team depth, compliance posture, and financial reporting quality — means Patrick can build companies toward acquisition readiness, not just operational competence.
Provides operational due diligence support for investment teams evaluating supply chain and operations-intensive businesses — identifying risks, quantifying improvement opportunities, and assessing management depth with a practitioner's eye rather than a generalist consultant's framework.
Serves as interim COO or VP of Operations for portfolio companies navigating leadership transitions, turnarounds, or rapid scaling requirements — embedding quickly, establishing credibility with the team, and delivering early wins that build momentum for longer-term improvement.
Brings a full-stack operational capability to portfolio engagements — supply chain, fulfillment, logistics, finance, HR, and technology — so the same person can assess and improve across functions rather than requiring multiple specialists for a single company's challenges.
