Patrick has over 26 years of technical experience managing large projects spanning from 9 to 24 months, for companies such as Sun, Pepsi, Bank of America, Marriott, International Paper and other global 500 corporations. Technical Lead experience includes client-server infrastructure projects, telecom, networking and ground-up application development in the HR application arena. Heavily traumatized from the tough and demanding world of managing global Compensation systems for Exult and Hewitt, the natural thing to do was to make a career out of it, and thus was Laserbeam born. Patrick manages the US operations, including business development, project delivery for new and existing clients, customer satisfaction and the US team. When he's not managing Laserbeam, Patrick is busy managing a wife, dog, cat, two teenagers, and Bela the parrot who showed up in the back yard one day and decided to stay.
