“I have been very fortunate to have Patrick as my manager during my first 2 years at Target. While being on the S.W.A.T. team, we often get assigned to the toughest and most challenge projects within the company. Whenever I ran into difficult challenges, Patrick’s diverse retail experience would often shed new lights that would provide a whole new perspective in solving my issues. Patrick is a natural leader that is passionate, smart, and engaging, but also he is a fantastic career and life mentor. He will go above and beyond to ensure every project we take on is both meaningful to the company and challenging to broaden our horizons. Furthermore, Patrick will always have our backs and ensure our achievements get recognized across all teams and peers. He is known for consistently driving results and changes in the company, he is respected for constantly challenging and couching the team, I would not hesitant to seek the opportunity to work with him again and recommend him to all employers as the next leader, and he is Patrick Shay! ”
