Patty started her career with PepsiCo and, over 14 years, worked in a variety of roles in strategy, customer and brand marketing, innovation, and franchise management. Most of her time was spent working and living in international markets outside the U.S., growing brands such as Gatorade, Tropicana, and Aquafina.

Since 2012, Patty has been working with Oxford Strategic Marketing, a small, global branding, innovation, and capability consulting firm that works with clients in the consumer goods, healthcare, and telecom industries. Patty has focused on brand purpose and strategy projects and supported non-profits.

Patty earned her MBA at the Tuck School at Dartmouth and a BBA at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She and her husband, Russell, are proud parents of two amazing young men – Michael and Spencer, both who navigate life with disabilities.  Spencer has been an avid participant in NAC programs since 2006, often ripping it up on the slopes in his bi-ski or on the bike trails  at Round Valley.

As a volunteer, Patty has served on several non-profit boards, including Board Chair for the Windward School, an independent day school in NY for students with language-based learning disabilities, as treasurer for Extreme Kids and Crew, a Brooklyn, NY organization that provides art and play spaces for neurodivergent kids and as a parent member in the NY State CSE process.  Patty truly enjoys volunteering with the NAC ski and snowboard program – it gives her a chance to support an organization that means so much to her family and has transformed Spencer’s life.
