30 years helping leaders and CEOs
Meet Patrick
Healthcare, Technology, Marketing
Do you need someone to lead a marketing team? Or do you have a commercial problem/idea that needs solving but no time or resources to lead it?
Do you need someone who can see the big picture, plan and execute? Someone who can deal with ambiguity. Someone who can make timely yet informed decisions and make things happen? Someone who has experience? And most importantly, someone you can trust?
With a background in science, I’ve worked with over 20 CEOs and tech leaders around the globe in healthcare and life-sciences. Fast-moving, often disruptive, environments. I help leaders achieve their goals and objectives in marketing, strategy, branding, and international business development.

What People Said

We had a business idea that we wanted to explore, but didn't know if it made sense to build a business around it. We hired Patrick with very loose idea what we want to do and he took charge, investigating technological, market and financial aspects of potential business. He structured all of it in a very common sense way, suggested improvements and found partners that would help us bring the idea to life. His experience in business and technology makes him easy to talk to and being proactive, he will look for optimal solutions to your challenges. Plus he is a lot of fun, so working with him has been a pleasure!

Patrick has been a tremendous support to me as a CEO. His knowledge in developing companies and marketing, in the broadest sense of the word, made a huge difference for us. He helped develop our corporate identity and messages to market. He set up a scaleable marketing solution and gave us insight in analytics. He got CloudLoad’s name in lights and increased lead generation week over week. He is wonderful to work with and is highly efficient. Patrick gave us brilliant support all the way through.

I've worked with Patrick at both Archimedes and ChemConnect. I've enjoyed working with him at both companies. He is extremely detail-oriented and organized. He is also very clear about his (high) expectations of my engineers. I appreciate this as it makes it easier for us to deliver when requirements are unambiguous.

Patrick not only has a mastery over the latest online tools and strategies available, but he also has an "old school" knack of knowing what clients want and drawing the appropriate audience to his organization based on whatever remit he is given. He was enjoyable to work with and is certainly capable of making a significant impact to any team he joins.

I have been collaborating with Patrick for the past 4 years and I attribute a significant portion of the success that we have had with Archimedes to his efforts. Patrick's initial work on overall strategy and then his consistent and determined approach to formalizing the marketing processes to realize our strategic goals have helped take the company from relative obscurity to one of the leaders in healthcare modeling.

I highly recommend Patrick to be a member of any team. Patrick is a crucial element in brainstorming sessions. He can listen, discuss and summarize in easy steps what has been discussed. Patrick is a natural leader/organizer, he knows how to take command and make things happen, on time.

Patrick is a strong strategist who can also implement tactics, step by step, with an eye toward ROI and cost-effectiveness. He's quick-witted yet thoughtful; eager to investigate new methods, yet analytical; very kind and easy-going, yet questioning. Patrick is also a very "real" and "normal" guy, someone who interacts really well with a wide range of people from all kinds of backgrounds.

Patrick worked for us to develop a business plan . We just gave the idea and he did the rest: investigating, analyzing and reporting the best business model for the company. He understands all aspects needed to run a company, can think strategic, and just gets things done, and done well.
