About Pat

I scale SaaS companies. Over 20+ years across PE-backed firms, I've grown organizations from $40M to $300M, integrated 10+ acquisitions, and led teams across three continents. Most recently: 100% AI adoption across engineering, 3x productivity gains, 300% velocity increases, managing products serving 90,000+ users.

I connect technical depth (BS Computer Science, BS Engineering Design) with business acumen(MBA Finance) to bridge product innovation and financial outcomes. Whether presenting to boards, integrating acquisitions, or coaching executive teams, I bring data-driven decision making and bias toward action.

Leadership Philosophy

Customer-Centric Roadmaps

Build what customers need, not what engineers find interesting. Voice-of-customer programs inform every roadmap decision.

Outcomes Over Output

Ship features that move business metrics, not just clear ticket backlogs. Results matter more than activity.

Drive Cost Discipline

Optimize cloud spend, reduce implementation time, improve gross margins. Product efficiency translates directly to bottom line.

Bias Toward Action

Perfect plans lose to good execution every single time. Ship, learn, iterate—speed creates competitive advantage.

Embrace Transformation

AI, cloud, new business models—lead change or get disrupted. Early adoption creates sustainable competitive advantage.

Build Through People

Promote from within, coach aggressively, operate globally. Great leaders multiply impact by developing other leaders.
