One weekend in Texas hooked Patrick, he found himself moving from Tennessee to Austin Texas to attend Engineering school at the University of Texas. With little understanding of the oil and gas industry, he didn't know what he was in for when he took his first internship with Baker Oil tools.
Patrick was a part of the Next Generation program of NOV. Right out of Engineering School he had the opportunity to travel around the world and shadow senior leaders in different business units. This allowed him to understand which part of the business he wanted to work in, he explains why this was so important and pivotal in his career.
We discuss dealing with challenges and how mentorship is essential in having a successful career. Patrick talks about what it takes to be a leader and how his leadership style evolved over time. One of the biggest life lessons he learned is that communication is key to any successful relationship or organization.
Patrick took a big jump leaving NOV after 13 years, he took the leap of faith to work for a smaller organization. He talks about the risk he took and how the failures he faced in the new role taught him that he can be successful no matter what company he is working for. He explains why this was important in the journey to making it to the President of Americas at DynaEnergetics.
Now as President, Patrick is focused on changing the gender landscape of Dynaenergetics. He talks about the programs they are putting in place in order to grow their female talent. He shares his perspective on what is holding women back and how Dyna is challenging those stereotypes.
