In Patrick’s Words

I’ve spent my career translating big opportunities into real outcomes. Whether it was building transforming marketing applications for customer data, building in-house performance marketing and unleashing a retail media business at Target, repositioning a brand and unlocking customer growth at Etsy, or guiding startups to sustainable growth, the fundamentals stay the same: understand the opportunity, build the right strategy, and pull together the right resources to make it happen.

I’ve worked across everything from e-commerce to automotive to education, and what I’ve learned is that good marketing isn’t about the category—it’s about understanding people and building systems that deliver consistent results. B2C, B2B, startup, enterprise—the tactics change, but the discipline doesn’t.

What I bring is perspective from seeing how brands succeed at scale, combined with the pragmatism to know what actually works in the real world. I help leaders cut through complexity and focus on the moves that matter.
