Patrick Blanc is a EVP, Global CTO at Ingenico. He possess expertise in product management, e commerce, agile methodologies, product development, leadership and 30 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Patrick was an excellent engineering director and leader who not only influenced his direct reports and his entire organization at PayPal, he influenced all of those around him. Regardless of how stressful a situation could have been, he always kept a positive face and had a way of inspiring others to follow in his footsteps to "make it happen". Also, regardless of how difficult an issue may have been, his great sense of humor kept everyone happy, going, and focused on the issue at hand. Nobody wanted to just deliver for Patrick, they wanted to over-deliver, and this is because he had a way of making people around him look good, so everyone liked to return his good karma. I wonder if him and Ryan remember telling me that I was not delivering unless I was over-delivering with the big smiles on their faces that actually meant they weren't kidding. I sure miss it, I really do! Patrick is quick, sharp, and makes respectable decisions. He knows how to get things done, and he knows how to get them done right, no matter how complex they may be. Although Patrick never micro-managed me, he insisted that we both stay in the loop with each other, so that he could continuously help me to grow both personally and professionally. I had the pleasure of spending a couple years of happy journeys around the world with Patrick building out amazing product development teams, meeting wonderful people, and having a ton of fun. It always saddens me to think about everything I left behind, and although the teams that I built under Patrick became like family to me, I had to make the hard decision to move from California to NYC to be closer to my wife's family; thank you again for supporting every last one of my decisions Patrick. Through mentoring, leadership, and management, Patrick has made a very positive impact in my life, so I would like to give him the best recommendation possible!" and "As a development manager Patrick is someone who can get things done."
