Hello, I’m Pat
I lead complex media technology work where deadlines are firm and daily operations cannot stop. Across Disney/ABC, NBCUniversal, and HBO, I have built teams, modernized production environments, strengthened live operations, and launched new ways to distribute content.
I am interested in executive leadership opportunities and consulting engagements through Waypoint Technologies, particularly when a major initiative needs clear direction, strong coordination, and dependable delivery.
Ideas Become Stronger Through Conversation
The most meaningful work often begins with a conversation—bringing together different experiences, perspectives, and ways of thinking to see a challenge more clearly.
I’m always interested in hearing about new ideas, difficult problems, and opportunities to create meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating a transformation, exploring what comes next, or simply looking for a fresh perspective, I’d be glad to connect and learn more.
What I’m Interested In
Media Technology and Practical Innovation
I’m interested in how technology and changing audience expectations are reshaping media. I especially enjoy exploring which new ideas can solve real problems and become useful in everyday operations.
Learning Through Collaboration
I enjoy working with people who bring different experiences and perspectives to the conversation. The best solutions often emerge when people listen carefully, challenge assumptions, and build on one another’s ideas
A favorite since I was five (the original), still the gold standard for creative problem-solving under pressure. What other show made resourcefulness, ingenuity, and a roll of duct tape look so compelling?

Mentorship
How I Help
I bring structure to complex initiatives: clarifying priorities, resolving blocked decisions, aligning teams and vendors, and keeping delivery accountable. At NBCUniversal, I directed the three-year, $65 million FCC Spectrum Repack across more than 30 stations while maintaining live operations.
Media Operations & Resilience
Streaming & Content Distribution
I led the design and launch of eight 24/7 local streaming channels across ABC Owned Television Stations. The services exceeded initial revenue projections by three times within six months. I also worked with LTN’s product team on a virtualized master control system to support the launch.
I have led 24/7 broadcast and production technology teams and helped deliver major facility changes without losing sight of the shows and services those facilities support. At WABC, my work included the technical buildout for Project Galaxy at 7 Hudson Square and management of the Long Island City garage buildout.

Let’s Connect
I welcome conversations with media companies, technology providers, industry partners, and leaders working through complex technology, transformation, and operational challenges.
I am particularly interested in opportunities where I can bring together business strategy, technology, operations, and people to help you move from ambition to practical execution.
If you would like to connect at IBC, discuss an executive opportunity, or simply exchange perspectives on where media technology is heading, I would be glad to hear from you.
