Colleagues describe him as "I am writing to express my endorsement of Patrick Gardner for senior leadership and general management roles within healthcare IT organizations focused on US-based healthcare. I had the privilege of working closely with Patrick during his early career at Lanier Worldwide/MedQuist and later as the General Manager of the Enterprise Imaging Group at McKesson. One of the most impressive aspects of Patrick's leadership, especially as a GM, was his ability to influence, guide, and effectively manage the sales function within a complex organizational structure. At McKesson, there were over 25 product-led businesses catering to a shared customer base, necessitating centralization of the sales function. As a GM, Patrick played a crucial role in providing clarity and unity through involvement, partnership, and commitment. He consistently demonstrated exceptional strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities, leveraging the strengths of the entire business. He possessed a deep understanding of market dynamics, our products, and services, and was adept at identifying opportunities to align them into winning sales strategies. In addition to his strategic contributions, Patrick assumed the ultimate responsibility for reporting our financial performance, including bookings, to senior leadership at McKesson. Throughout this process, he fostered a spirit of true partnership, allowing us to effectively manage risks, capitalize on opportunities, and develop strategies to maximize our performance. Importantly, he never resorted to blaming sales or finger-pointing when performance fell short of targets and considered any shortfall the responsibility of the organization. Conversely, when we exceeded targets (which happened frequently), Patrick always recognized and credited me, my team, and the many contributions from other functions, greatly improving trust and fostering a collaborative environment. Our positive experience working together led to a lasting professional and personal relationship that extends beyond our time at McKesson. Therefore, without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick Gardner for any leadership position where his exceptional abilities, strategic acumen, and aptitude for driving sales results will be highly valued. His leadership style transcends reporting structures, focusing on the overall performance of the business and ensuring optimal alignment of all functions to the common strategic goals. Patrick's leadership style, particularly in sales, made managing and motivating a sales team remarkably straightforward. I am confident that he will prove to be an invaluable asset to your organization. Sincerely, Larry Hoot Vice President of Sales McKesson Enterprise Imaging Group" and "Patrick was truly a pleasure to work with. He was a true leader, both within the executive leadership team and throughout the company. During our leadership meetings, I learned a lot from Patrick's strategic vision and how that translated to a go-to-market plan he was pursuing. He works tirelessly for the good of the company and sincerely cares about his colleagues. I will miss working with Patrick but know a future company will benefit greatly from his passionate desire to improve those around him along with the success of the company."
