He didn't just manage; he actively mentored and empowered his team. Patrick recognized my potential beyond my role as a QA Engineering Manager and challenged me to learn new skills.

He was a key player in getting so many critical things accomplished & he rose to every challenge. He is a true team player & someone who embodies the servant-leader mentality.
