Christopher McHardy

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Patti, who I found thoughtful, strategic and personable. I was always impressed how objective Patti was in respect of significant matters that affected her organization. Her ability to avoid being partisan allowed her to apply her excellent legal skills and very sound judgment in a way that ensured that the organization was not at risk of a shallow analysis, or a rash or reactive decision. Her objectivity and good judgment, however, take nothing away from her loyalty and the best interests of her organization. Patti takes the time to listen and ensures she has the information necessary to make an optimal decision, yet she is quick, decisive and often comes up with creative solutions to complex problems. I highly recommend Patti!

Everyone says they’re a strategist, but in reality, you meet very few people who are genuinely good at it. Patti is one of those. Working closely with her for years, I’ve seen her navigate all stages of the planning cycle. When faced with a seemingly impossible situation, she consistently produces solutions that are elegant in their simplicity, yet backed up by robust data. Her insight has a keenness about it that dispels the noise and fuss usually associated with hard decisions: she knows the questions to ask, the people to involve and how to breakdown a strategy to its tactical components.
