About Patrick F.

I’m an operations and program management professional with a knack for developing relationships across the organization and a reputation for my straightforward approach and diplomatic honesty. I help stakeholders and teams understand their needs when it comes to systems, processes, and operations support.Over the past 20 years I’ve worked in operations at Cytokinetics and Genentech, in product R&D at a boutique investment advisor and broker-dealer, and in accounting and operations at a retail startup.My first real job was as a line cook in one of LA’s best restaurants, and I still rely on the skills learned way back then- Mise en place, a philosophy and system for planning work and organizing the tools, resources, and mindset needed to work with efficiency and purpose- Working clean, managing side work and gradually closing out tasks in order to avoid back-loading and creating unnecessary work for yourself and others- Shared success - the culture of winning and losing as a team; if someone is off, or falling behind, it is the team’s challenge and duty to step up and help.
