Patrick
Renaissance man, catalyst, disrupter, life long learner, and Oxford comma enthusiast. I am infuriatingly curious and open-minded, with a habit of challenging established thinking. My winding professional career and education have formed a hunger for the most wicked of problems. A very high degree of self efficacy provides the resilience necessary to introduce new ideas and grind down fossilized habits in the face of determined opposition.
My default is to beg forgiveness rather than ask permission, broad guidelines and intellectual freedom are preferred over prescriptive processes and stifling bureaucracy. The best ideas are rarely found by following the rules.
Not for the faint of heart, my style is direct and agreeably disagreeable. I will ask questions and seek to understand, there are no sacred cows for me – and organizational taboo’s are like catnip. Sometimes you just need to point out that the emperor really doesn’t have any clothes on at all.
