Patti thrives in a work environment that encourages different backgrounds and ways of thinking. She collaborates with her colleagues to brainstorm and collectively advance the organization. Critical to her success has been her ability to build great teams and enable them to move quickly and get things done. In addition, Patti personifies the importance of purpose, values, and people.
