As president and chief operating officer at Aldridge, Patrick R. Wiley is responsible for translating strategic direction into the day-to-day operation of the company. Patrick oversees operations, including services, new business development, sales, finance, legal, and human resources. He also leads significant mergers and acquisitions activities. Patrick has been committed to upgrading Aldridge’s DNA with a set of deeply-held core values that allow clients to obtain the level of service and support they need from the marketplace but haven’t been able to get. To help clients derive maximum benefit from their IT investments, Patrick built client service and support programs with first-responder cultures and led the transition to a flat-fee managed services business model that empowers clients with custom, best-fit solutions.   “Everything we do must align with our core values or we don’t do it,” Patrick says. “The trust we build with this unwavering philosophy helps us achieve the highest possible excellence for our clients and our company.” Under Patrick’s leadership, gross revenue at Aldridge has increased from $1 million to $18 million and the company has been ranked on the Houston Business Journal and Inc. magazine’s lists of fastest growing companies.
