Client Testimonials
Blake Hancock - Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Binswanger Glass
Patrick worked on our SPX EMEA team as Finance Director from 2020–2012. Patrick is an enthusiastic leader with a "can-do" attitude. He was always willing to go the extra mile and get the job done.
Patrick was also a thoughtful manager who would stretch his co-workers and team members, but also got out of their way so they could excel and shine.
I would recommend Patrick without hesitation.
