Recommendations:"Having seen Pat lead multiple projects, it is my privilege to avidly recommend him. Pat is a natural leader. Pat is that uncommon person that you can give multiple, high-priority, complex challenges, and then expect each will be accomplished with the best regard for your schedule, cost, and quality objectives. Pat consistently applies his wealth of experience to understand the most important goals of new assignments. Pat can help you elaborate your vision. He will explore and present quantified, well-researched options to solving problems. He will hold his teams accountable for excellent delivery under both good and bad conditions. Pat listens! …to his customers, his stakeholders, his team, and to the most important and evolving industry knowledge. Pat not only delivers great results, he is a person of model character -- someone your team admires and wants to follow. He is one of those special people that you want to fill your company with." - Jim Banks - Delivery Mgr

"I managed Pat while at Bridgewater, as the chief architect and manager of business delivery. As soon as Pat joined the team he started to make a real difference in the quality and trajectory, as a product and project manager. He is someone that gains the respect of teams that he manages immediately, with his ability for higher level conceptual thinking, abstracting details of the tasks and instead mapping to the goals unswervingly. He gives others the confidence to tackle highly complex tasks, with the confidence that he is there as a safety net. I appreciated both his ability to analyze situations in detail, helping others overcome emotions and reach clear conclusions; whatever they may mean, as well as his ability to execute, always in a complex and unforgiving environment. He created a credible portfolio roadmap and tirelessly implemented it, overcoming project, technical and organizational constraints; often late into the nights to make sure that it became a reality. As far as skills he has trained many other product/project managers, and is considered by his peers as a leader in the field. Over the whole time that I know Pat, no one ever questioned his integrity, and genuine care that he has towards growing others, as well as commitment to excellence, wherever that may lead. I have come to respect him as man, and a colleague over the time that we spent in Bridgewater, and can recommend him with no reservations as a change agent to any organization." - Ilan Grossman, Delivery Mgr
