“At the risk of providing a pedestrian recommendation, yes, Patrick is visionary. Yes, Patrick has keen entrepreneurial spirit. He is thoughtful, creative, and smart. No doubt. The thing about Patrick is his charm and grace under pressure. Executives -- even the smartest among them -- are used to challenges, both internal and organizational as well as external. What sets Patrick apart from the pack is his seemingly innate ability to disarm antagonists and opposition with the ease of giving candy to a baby. This ability makes him a fierce leader, negotiator, and business force to be reckoned with. If you want to succeed in business, find a way to get Patrick's ear.” July 24, 2011
