At first glance, Pat looks like you're typical MAWG (Middle-Aged White Guy). White shirt, khakis, just-this-side-of-hip tie. But underneath the costume of convention lies an ideological maverick. Perhaps one of Pat's biggest strengths is telling clients what they don't want to hear. His philosophy: that the future will come equipped with the good, the bad and the ugly - and that in order to succeed, organizations must be willing to take a hard look at all the trends affecting their business. A former National Security Agency intelligence officer, Pat has an innate ability to look at seemingly disparate trends on the horizon and "connect the dots" to show clients a picture of tomorrow. He's refreshingly pragmatic; for him, articulating a vision of the future isn't enough, unless that vision guides - make that dictates - the business decisions being made today. Which is just what our clients DO want to hear.
