About Patrick

Patrick serves consumer-packaged-goods, apparel, and fashion companies around the world. He is particularly experienced in facilitating organizational transformations and enabling companies to create competitive advantages through an effective operating model in line with strategy, market requirements, and success factors.

Examples of Patrick’s recent client projects include the following:

• designing and delivering an end-to-end organizational-transformation program spanning all functions—including marketing, sales, and operations—for a global packaged-goods company, to increase the alignment between a new strategic direction and the underlying operating model
• developing a new operating model to reduce time to market by 30 percent for an apparel and fashion company by creating a leaner, nimbler, and digitally enabled organization
• enabling an organization to grow globally by migrating from a regional operating model toward a global one, with several billion dollars in sales uplift since implementation
• creating a digital operating model—including a digitally enhanced value chain, an adjusted channel mix with a much higher share of online sales and 20 percent private-label e-commerce sales, and digital capability building—for an established packaged-goods company
• designing a leaner, more cost-efficient operating model, with a five-percentage-point impact on the bottom line, by refocusing an organization and its resources on its core mission
