“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the people who do .”

Steve Jobs

Problems I help founders solve
  • Co-founder, team or investor conflict. We've all been there. It can get ugly
  • Productivity. We all get tired, exhausted and burnout. The right tools and energy management can make the difference.
  • Storytelling and inspiration. Delivering the right story can mean the difference between keeping or loosing a key employee or investor
  • Lack of purpose or vision. People don't care what you do. They care "why" you do it.
  • Loneliness. Being a founder can be the loneliest job in the world. It doesn't have to be. Sometimes you just need someone in your corner who won't judge you.
How I work

My coaching style is bold, authentic and results oriented.  As someone who’s been in the trenches at both early stage startups and large companies including Pepsi and Google for nearly 3 decades, I speak from experience and not just theory.

I use my training as a Co-active coach coupled with my experience as an entrepreneur and CEO to help you become the best possible leader you can be and reach your goals.

My coaching is accompanied by proven tools and diagnostics to help you make big decisions and grow personally and professionally:

  • 360 Diagnostics, personality assessments and in-depth interviews to identity your zones of genius and your areas of improvement
  • Proven tools like the Zenger Folkman FUEL model, Powerful Questions, The Wheel of Life and other frameworks and digital content to accompany our coaching sessions and make the theory turn into actionable results
  • Tools and techniques to also help you live a balanced, purposeful life and maintain your energy level at its fullest to get the most out of your time.

The Ikigai Drives Startup Culture

When you’re scaling quickly it can be easy to forget why you started the company or loose track of your values.

When your startup has a clear purpose, you inspire employees, clients and partners.


Your people are more innovative, proactive and you retain them longer.


When you work with me, we’re going to identify your Ikigai as well as your core values.
Than we’re going to apply that to your organization and team.


When you have an inspired organization all the impossible stuff becomes possible.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Patrick has an amazing experience around brand, storytelling, marketing etc. We had the opportunity to work together at early stage of Lime and Patrick helped develop the initial brand story and also was a trustworthy advisor on our value and culture. He is also a great mentor for many entrepreneurs or marketers and I am sure you can learn a great deal from him if you are looking for one.

Patrick is an incredible coach ready to ask the tough questions but giving you the tools and building simultaneously with you the transformation that makes one grow both professionally and personally. When I was at Sparta as a CEO, Patrick coached our management team with the objective to change the culture of Sparta to start its digital transformation.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Patrick during our time together at Google as well as being a client of his. When I became a CMO, Patrick was one of the first calls I made. He is one of the few folks that makes everyone around him better.

Patrick has been an incredible coach to Zently and to me personally as well. He has a tell-you-how-it-is style that is super impactful for both early stage and mature companies. His marketing genius is a superpower you can't afford not to have on your side. We're lucky to count him among our advisors!

Patrick has been a wonderful coach for me, who I'm able to relate to very much given his experience as an entrepreneur and CEO himself. He has an analytical and data driven approach to coaching. He is also very much goal and action oriented. I continue to work with him and strongly recommend him for other entrepreneur CEOs. Thank you Patrick for everything. I'm very grateful.
Subbu Rama

Patrick was my first approach to coaching. In the beginning, I was very skeptical about coaching in general. All my skepticism fade away as soon as I met Patrick. Under his guidance, I underwent a profound transformation as a leader, and he played a pivotal role in shaping my career and influencing the trajectory of my company. The positive impact of Patrick's work was undeniable.
