Background

About Patrick Geare

As a seasoned executive with over 10 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I have cultivated a deep expertise in leading multifaceted teams and enhancing operational efficiency, team performance, and customer satisfaction. My career at Optum Home and Community as the Director of Clinical Support has allowed me to oversee operations and provide strategic leadership for critical support teams, ensuring the delivery of exceptional support services. My leadership is characterized by a commitment to operational excellence, strategic planning, and fostering collaborative relationships. Before my current role, I honed my skills in talent acquisition and relationship management as a Professional Recruiter at Aerotek, where I led recruiting and staffing solutions for a diverse range of clients. My tenure at Aerotek was marked by significant achievements, including acting as the primary point of contact for IKEA’s largest East Coast distribution center, managing over 50 contractors, and streamlining operational processes to enhance efficiency and compliance. My career journey began at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, where I quickly advanced from a Management Trainee to a Branch Corporate Accounts Manager. This early career experience taught me the fundamentals of customer service, business development, and operational leadership, earning me The Car Sales Marketing Award and selection for "The Best Person Program" for my exceptional contribution and dedication. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Marketing Management from Salisbury University and having completed leadership development programs with Optum / UnitedHealth Group, my educational background and professional development have been pivotal in shaping my leadership philosophy. Focused on empowering teams, driving strategic initiatives, and committed to continuous improvement, I am open to exploring opportunities across various industries where I can contribute to growth and operational excellence.
