About Pat
What sets me apart is that my path into finance was far from conventional. I’m a first-generation American (Polish is my native language) and the first in my family to attend college. I built my career without a built-in network or traditional entry points, which gives me a distinct perspective on the investing world. That lived experience shapes my coaching style: direct, practical, and focused on helping you overcome challenges, stand out authentically, and achieve your goals. I have limited availability, as I’m currently a VP in private equity and actively leading multiple deals and portfolio company value-creation initiatives. This means I work closely with a small number of clients at a time, ensuring focused, high-impact guidance.
Why do I coach?
I was lucky to have mentors who believed in me, pushed me, and taught me the ropes. Their advice helped shape both my career and life. Now I’m excited to help others tackle the same hurdles I faced and be helpful in any way that I can be.
