ABOUT PATRICK SHAW
Accomplished Executive level business leader, recognized as a value generator. Proven track record leading triple digit business growth, most recently built Canada\'s largest, fastest growing, and most innovative education group. Always ready for challenges, I’m not risk adverse, and thrive in entrepreneurial environments. As an expert in building brands and change management, I welcome opportunities to lead teams through high stress or even crisis situations to turn businesses around. I’ve lead organizations in: • sustaining average annual revenue growth of 28%, • generating an evaluation at 12 times the business’ earnings, • growing specific business assets to 20 times the asset’s earnings, • growing annual sales from 17M to 87M over a 7-year period, • capturing 20% of market share within an organization’s first operating year. With a passion for international relations, I’ve lived in, travelled to and/or engaged in business relationships in all 7 continents across the globe including providing leadership within the adventure travel industry, specializing in educational adventure tourism in the Arctic and Antarctica. Currently, I’m fulfilling various Directorship roles on a part-time basis; preparing a business to be sold and guiding a couple of travel industry businesses while leading the industry in COVID-19 response, and maintaining the organizations’ brand and cashflow during unprecedented worldwide travel restrictions. Open to senior level opportunities within entrepreneurial environments wanting to build their brand, their team, and their value. Reach me at p••••••••@gmail.com
