Profile

Patrick specialises in building complex, multi-cultural humanitarian operations and the national teams that run them — procurement, supply chain, fleet, warehousing and the ERP and reporting systems behind them. His work spans strategic planning, donor compliance (EU, USAID, NORAD, French MFA), and emergency response, always with an eye on turning operational data into decisions leadership can act on.
