We worked with Patrick for a project related to market access, pricing and co-pay strategy. Patrick is very experienced professional in pharmaceutical space and he delivered the project within agreed time and budget. He brought his best team on the project to assure we get the best outcome. Given his broad experience, Patrick could be a great resource for any support in the area of strategy, new product launch preparation, gross to net, etc.
I know Patrick very well: he used to report directly to me both in Novartis (I was CFO of Novartis Corporation US and he was Head of Finance for the Immunology and Dermatology franchise) and most recently at Insmed where he was VP Financial Planning and Analysis.
Patrick is very skilled and very smart. He knows the pharmaceutical industry very well, in particular the US market but not only. His strongest areas are the strategic thinking as well as the tactical execution.
As finance expert, his understanding and knowledge about the US market access, payers and pricing is by far above average. He is very passionate and always able to build strong and motivated team. He is also very capable in terms of system and processes and always tries to automize data processing to free up time for him and his team for analysis and to support the business providing financial stewardship.
My personal relationship with him has been always extremely positive and it has been a pleasure to work together.
I recently had the opportunity to work with Patrick, as we were seeking his expertise to identify possible paths to improve the gross-to-net ratio for a rare disease treatment. This assignment led to an in-depth analysis and practical recommendations, along with suggested steps to reach the targeted improvement. Patrick really impressed us with his unique expertise combining finance, specialty distribution understanding and knowledge of the latest patient access tools.
As CFO, Patrick provided valuable thought partnership on ways to meet the company's financial objectives. The diversity of his roles have given him a thorough understanding of market dynamics and business levers. As a result, he is able to challenge, encourage and help think through innovative solutions. He is equally vested on talent strategy and culture and is quick to act as C-suite champion. He leads by example. Patrick is knowledgeable, insightful and a true business partner.
Patrick is a true visionary leader for a Company, building not just efficiency and automation but creating lasting value. Drawing upon his years as a top CFO and commercial operations strategist, he is dedicated to paving a path to sustainable success for an organization through investing in future-ready technologies and enterprise tools that can be scaled as needed, paired with prioritization of talent development and open channels of communication. Having been hired by him to help steer his roadmap for Digital Transformation, I witnessed his consistent commitment to building dynamic organizations focused on seizing future opportunities and evolving business demands leveraging a strong technology stack to enable timely execution. Patrick has a strong track record of success implementing suites of SAP, Oracle and other cutting edge systems throughout every stage of the installation lifecycle, from initial objective setting and scoping and to vendor selection, project planning, detailed system design, data integration, installation, end-user training and go-live deployment. He has a unique ability to build consensus across all levels of the organization to get buy-in and support to embrace technological change, and diligently manages and monitors the project execution path holding project teams and resources accountable. He works with tireless devotion on the finer details of the technical specifications, calculations, data hierarchies, templates and end-user experience to ensure the highest quality standards. It is without hesitation that I advocate for Patrick and his unwavering commitment to empowering an organization through his introduction of new ways of thinking, delivering robust technology resources and infrastructure, and increasing agility and flexibility - all so vital in this digital age of global collaboration and hybrid work models.
Patrick is a thought leader who deeply understands how to move the finance office from corporate scorekeepers to drivers of company value. I worked with him for about a year at Insmed when he was their VP of FP&A. In that time, we implemented a comprehensive Hyperion Planning system and reengineered the financial planning processes of the entire company.
Patrick is the rare kind leader who can set strategy and also get into the technical weeds on a system implementation. He will lay out the vision of what he wants to do, then work tireless to make sure that the entire apparatus is aligned. This becomes readily apparent when it comes to the implementation of new tools and systems. When we worked together, he had a clear set of objectives in mind and knew exactly what the system needed to do for him.
I would recommend Patrick to any organization that is in need of a “full-stack” leader. He will set your vision and your mission. He will figure out your strategy. And once he’s done all that, he’ll wrangle all stakeholders, large and small, towards executing that strategy.
Patrick is a leader who knows the importance of adopting and applying technology to continuously evolve and reinvent the enterprise to support growth and competitive strategy. Throughout my interactions with Patrick, I have been consistently impressed by his ability to analyze complex business requirements and provide insights and guidance that have helped guide successful technology implementations.
Patrick is an exceptional communicator, able to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner that is easily understood by both technical and non-technical stakeholders. He possesses a keen ability to build strong relationships with cross-functional teams, working collaboratively to identify the right technology solutions to meet the unique needs of each project.
What sets Patrick apart is his strategic vision and ability to align financial objectives with technology implementation goals. He has a proven track record of delivering results and consistently exceeding expectations. Patrick is a dynamic leader who brings energy, creativity, and a forward-thinking mindset to everything he does.
I have no doubt that Patrick will make a valuable contribution to any organization looking to implement new technologies and improve their financial performance.
I truly had the pleasure of working with Patrick Coyle at close range for over a year as a business partner and project colleague in a Biotechnology Pharma company. In his role as a VP of Financial Planning and Analysis, he was an outstanding asset. Since day one, I was able to connect well with him, due to his exceptional gift in critical thinking, strategic planning, and tactical approach. In many ways, he demonstrated to be a great leader and extremely loyal to his team. Many times, and during crunch periods, he worked 16 hours a day with passion, commitment, and reliable work. In more than one occasion, I witnessed him having challenges, and every time, surprised me with his solutions to the problems. He is an exceptional business thinker, and his flexibility and adaptation to any circumstance are splendid. He has a dynamic personality and passionate business spirit. No doubt Patrick is one of those rare individuals who will always go the extra mile to ensure tremendous accomplishments and delivering prosperous quality work. His business knowledge and commercial financial acumen are above the traditional corporate standards. I with complete confidence endorse Patrick Coyle for any role as VP of Finance or CFO in any industry.
Patrick is one of the most passionate and business focused Finance partners I have ever worked with in my career. He is a natural leader beyond been an outstanding people manager. Very few people have such a great combination of skills and human quality.
