Patti has spent more than 30 years “on both sides of the desk” – leading and founding companies and acting as an advisor and mentor to executives.

Patti loves connecting the dots and orchestrating a company’s intricate balance between strategy, people, processes, and technology to create lasting value and a unique business advantage.
