About Patrick (Fractional CFO)Patrick has extensive hands-on, cross-functional expertise working with many emerging companies across multiple industries and sectors, including technology, software, science, manufacturing, service, and others. His deeply rooted financial and operational leadership is evidenced by over 30 years of executive experience in seeing firms through to successful growth with revenues of nearly $820M. Having successfully raised over $75M in capital and venture debt through private equity, strategic corporate, venture capital, government grants, angel, and other funding sources, Patrick offers the unique ability to provide innovative and strategic insight beyond that of the typical financial manager who focuses on mere mechanics as demonstrated by repeated calls from entrepreneurs and private equity firms alike to facilitate success by joining their prized executive teams.Patrick, always the champion of the emerging business, has a strong and long-standing desire to work alongside business owners, managers, board members, investors, and other stakeholders to help them cut through the often confusing minutia of starting and/or growing a business, and therefore focus on what really matters to the company’s long-term success. Further, Patrick’s diverse and wide-ranging background working with companies of all types and sizes, has afforded him a keen ability to quickly recognize the crucial keys to business success and avoid the pitfalls many entrepreneurs and managers make during the formative and growth periods of their venture. Patrick has established a solid track record for building practical, or “real-world,” operationally focused financial models that streamline the planning and forecasting process thus allowing business owners to drill down to the important benchmarks of their business.
