Pat’s Private Equity Qualifications

Experience level: Vice President

10+ people coached for Private Equity

With an MBA from Harvard Business School and a career spanning top-tier investment banking and private equity shops, I bring firsthand insight into what it takes to succeed in the industry. I began my career at Lazard, where I built a strong foundation in M&A execution, before transitioning into private equity, where I’ve held investment roles at Siris Capital, BayHawk Capital, and Vantage Equity Partners. Over the course of my investing career, I’ve led multiple platform investments and executed dozens of add-on acquisitions across a range of industries and deal structures. Whether you're preparing for interviews, navigating the recruiting process, or thinking through career transitions, I bring a practical, investor-level perspective to help you differentiate and win.

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.
