“Patrick and I worked closely together for 8 years in the remote communications industry (satellite & microwave) through 3 business combinations resulting from mergers and acquisitions. He contributes an excellent blend of leadership, technical knowledge, teamwork and customer focus. You want Patrick in the room when there is a difficult problem to solve. He is fact-based, keeps groups focused, speaks with transparency and high integrity, and works to achieve actionable solutions. The M&A activity in those years presented the challenge of employee communication and integration of businesses. Patrick is excellent in those situations.”
