Director of Social Enterprise Operations & Development
Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa
Patrick brings over 15 years of progressive retail leadership experience, having led large-scale store operations, multi-year expansion strategies, and high-performance teams across North America. Most recently, he oversaw national store operations and new store development for a major auto parts company, aligning frontline execution with long-term growth objectives. Prior to that, he held senior leadership roles at other well known national retailers, where he consistently delivered growth, drove operational excellence, and championed employee engagement.
He has a great depth of experience in retail operations, people management, and new business development. Patrick is excited about his transition to the social enterprise and nonprofit world, and we are confident he will fit right in with both the leadership team and the ReStore team.
In his current role, Patrick leads Habitat Greater Ottawa's ReStore operations with a focus on growth, partnerships, customer experience, and community impact, generating critical funding to help more homeowners build better lives for themselves and their families.
