“Working with Patrick over the last couple of years has been life and career-changing. Not just for myself, but for several members of our team. As an organizational leader, he is well versed not only in his area of expertise, but across departments. He is knowledgeable in what sometimes seems like an infinite list of subject areas – operations, finance, business, analytics, marketing, fulfillment, supply chain, strategy, and team building – just to name a few. When there is a topic he isn’t familiar with, he looks for the expert to learn from to advance both his own understanding and personal growth, as well as to improve, build, and strategize for his team. Under his leadership, an Operational Excellence team was created that saw world class results in SQF, AIB, and ISO 9001 annual audits, the Operations department was developed into a collaborative and adaptive team across 8 facilities with a wide range of customer needs, and a culture of open communication and innovation was created. Patrick is more than just a “top management” leader. He is a mentor that invests in his team and he has been the catalyst in the development of many. By meeting people where they are, and pushing them out of their comfort zone, they are put in situations that will stretch them, while remaining in the background to support when needed. In just the time I have known him, multiple individuals that started in entry level roles grew into leadership roles of Supervisors, Assistant Managers, Facility Managers, and Departmental Managers. Personally, the 2 years spent working with, and being mentored by Patrick was a period in which my knowledge, skills, and abilities exponentially advanced more than any other time in my career. By supplying the tools and the space to operate autonomously, giving real-time feedback, and creating opportunities for growth I have been able to progress to where I am today.”

— Rebekah G., Operational Excellence Manager

“Witnessing Patrick's leadership as our VP of Fulfillment at Crowd Cow was an exceptional experience. His problem-solving brilliance is legendary, calmly dissecting challenges and building solutions that not only fix problems but prevent future ones. He’s a master navigator, guiding our team through operational storms with both strategic foresight and a genuine concern for the people on board. But Patrick understands the human equation. His leadership is about more than just numbers. He fosters a culture of trust and open communication, celebrating individual wins and offering a supportive hand through setbacks. He recognizes happy employees are the foundation of a thriving organization, and he builds that foundation with genuine care. I wouldn't be where I am today without Patrick’s guidance. He nurtured my talent, challenged my thinking, and always had my back. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick to anyone seeking a strategic leader who truly cares about building teams that excel and enjoy coming to work everyday!”

— Tiffany B., Customer Care & Corporate Gifting Manager

He’s gifted at connecting with everyone on his team, even the most junior associates. It’s remarkable to see how quickly he can get a team to work as a unit, and how he can tap unseen potential in individuals. On top of that, his work ethic is unmatched.”
