Before becoming a consultant at Amplēo in 2020, Patrick brought a wealth of experience from his role as Corporate Controller and acting CFO for a franchise group, where he led a significant expansion from 38 to 63 locations. He then served as an independent consultant and strategic advisor for various small, high-growth companies, enabling them to scale effectively and sustainably.

Despite his extensive financial expertise, Patrick is anything but your typical accountant and finance strategist. His passion for numbers rivals others’ love for chocolate or coffee, as evidenced by his favorite shirt proclaiming, “Warning: may talk about EBITDA.”

Throughout his career, he’s served predominantly in C-suite roles, steering numerous entities to triple-digit growth year after year. Patrick’s meticulous approach to financial due diligence has been instrumental in facilitating numerous M&A transactions totaling over $2 billion in combined valuation.
