Whether you're navigating a merger, untangling fragmented processes, building a data foundation, or making your AI investment land — I bring 25+ years of global IT leadership and the human touch to make transformation truly stick.
Where I make a difference
I've guided organizations through some of the most complex transitions a company can face. From due diligence through TSA exit, I design governance models, execution roadmaps, and cross-functional playbooks that keep people focused and the business running — even when everything is changing. I've led programs from $500M to $3B in revenue impact.
When teams are working from different playbooks, everything slows down. I listen carefully, find the root cause, and build repeatable, audit-ready operating models that make sense to the people using them. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I move fast, cut waste, and leave behind frameworks your team can genuinely own.
Good decisions need good data — and good data needs a solid foundation. I've built and led global data platforms supporting supply chain, manufacturing, finance, and analytics — including Snowflake, SAP Analytics, and Power BI. I connect the technical work to the business outcome, so your data investment translates into real clarity for your teams.
Most AI programs don't fail because of the technology — they fail because the people, processes, and accountability structures weren't ready. I help organizations build the governance foundation first: data standards, ownership models, and adoption plans that give your AI initiative the best possible chance to land and truly stick.
About Patti Carney
I've spent 25 years inside global enterprises — pharma, life sciences, chemical manufacturing — leading IT through the moments that matter most: mergers, divestitures, platform transformations, and the very human side of change.
My approach has always been collaborative. I don't come in with all the answers — I come in with the right questions, and I build coalitions with the people who know the organization best. People support what they helped create. That belief shapes everything I do.
Whether the challenge is technical, organizational, or somewhere in between, I learn quickly and adapt. I hold a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and build governance models designed to outlast my engagement — because the goal is always your team owning it long after I'm gone.
How we'd work together
30 minutes where I listen more than I talk. We figure out what's really going on — not just the surface-level symptoms.
One page. Your problem described back to you, a defined scope, timeline, and a straightforward investment. No surprises.
I embed with your team — not above them. Governance, alignment, and change management woven in from day one.
I leave with documented processes, trained people, and frameworks your organization carries forward independently.
Let's talk
I work with a small number of organizations at a time — which means when we work together, you get my full attention and genuine care. If the timing feels right, I'd love to hear what's going on.
