I met Patrik during some Taskforce activities last year. He was a very reliable partner and with his ‚hands-on‘ mentality he was a real asset during this time.

I hope to work again with him and wish him best of luck.

Patrik is fantastic to work with, and he was an exceptional Manager. His “hands-on” approach to skill coaching paired with his motivational speaking abilities and strong, positive persona won him the respect of all the internal staff and customers we served. He led our team in achieving a quote of 100% customer satisfaction, which was a major key indicator of future growth and success in our Company.

Overall, Patrik is attributed as a loyal and insightful visionary, and I look forward to having the opportunity to work in his business unit again in the future.

I have worked with Patrik for several years on various projects and i have found Patrik to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and a excellent communicator. Patrick is a proven problem solver and has unique ability to analyze situations and develop effective countermeasures when needed.

Pierre Nunn

Supplier Capacity Management, Mercedes Benz U.S. International

I served as the HR Generalist at SWJ Technology and during my time there I worked closely with Patrik on high level initiatives, business strategies, employee engagement, and a host of differing items.

While serving as part of the management team, I witnessed Patrik’s executive talent on many occasions. He is a visionary in his industry, yet highly approachable by junior staff. I have watched him listen to the ideas of employees on the front lines and use their experiences to formulate successful strategies that have helped SWJ gain and retain many high level contracts. His insights and ability to remain humble while managing multiple accounts not only make him a great leader, but also a team player. His competitive nature and determination cannot be beat and I can only hope that we can one day work together again.
