Patricia Wortham

💫 ABOUT: Patricia Wortham. As a seasoned Chief HR Officer with 24 years of experience, I've weathered the highs and lows that come with leading human capital strategies. From handling EEOC investigations to making tough calls on CEO demotions and advocating for colleagues, my journey has been marked by challenges and victories that only those in similar backgrounds can fully grasp.
🎁 GIVE: I can offer a dynamic and strategic approach to operational management and achieving business objectives through people development and policy design.
🙏 GET: I am also driven to pursue my lifelong passion for real estate entrepreneurship. My vision entails establishing a niche real estate company focused on Martha's Vineyard, where I plan to purchase property and develop eight to ten luxury cabins. I am seeking assistance in learning how to run a business effectively, securing financing for this venture, and navigating the process of purchasing property.
🔖 FAVORITE QUOTE: "I was raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO." - Tom Hardy
✨ DREAM INTRO: I am interested in connecting with PE backed companies and am drawn to their compelling value proposition, which encompasses roles such as Advisor, Operating Partner, and Board Director. Working for a company with such a dynamic and impactful approach is something I aspire to.
💪 MOTIVATION: After taking a career placement test in high school, the results indicated that I would excel in either "Personnel" or "Public Relations." Growing up in an immigrant household, I harbored a fear of public speaking. However, my determination led me to overcome this obstacle, learning English by watching "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood." Fueled by this drive, I chose to pursue a career in Personnel, and it proved to be the right decision, shaping the trajectory of my professional journey.
