Pat Wilkie
Director, Financial Advisory
My Predictive Index
The PI helped show me that my ideal workflow – fast paced, independent, creative, data-centric – might be fun for me, but can be stressful for others. One of the PI coaching tips I have found useful is to schedule regular times to collaborate, or just “check in”. With more opportunities to communicate, there is less “surprise” and less stress for my colleagues who thrive on dependable processes. Scheduled collaboration also forces me to slow down and consider important points of view I might otherwise miss. This small insight made the process more enjoyable for everyone and the work product better for the client.
Pat was drawn to ClearPath in early 2018 by the opportunity to solve puzzles like: “What is a private company worth?” and “How could we make it worth even more?”.
Today, Pat focuses on valuation, M&A, data analytics, and turnaround engagements for our clients. His industry expertise includes manufacturing, construction, agriculture, distribution, and services businesses. Internally, Pat ensures ClearPath’s techniques for financial modeling, forecasting, process automation, and general data analysis are best-in-class. Additionally, he oversees our research efforts, including proprietary and third-party databases.
Prior to joining ClearPath, Pat worked in asset management as a financial analyst and an equities trader.
