I was deeply impressed. Patrick was super-responsive and always spot on. He doesn't comment on every irrelevant detail but focuses on the commercial things and takes a view in terms of future issues.

He has the ability to navigate complexity while keeping focus on the commercial and business objectives.

Patrick knows the shareholder and investor side, and has a really good 360-degree view on the field of entertainment and sports. He has a really good feel for the pulse of what's going on.

He is very knowledgeable and understands what the task is faster than anyone else.

Patrick is an absolutely wonderful partner to work with. He has exceptional knowledge and attention to detail. I feel in very safe hands with him.
