Patrick Marous has been my mentor since 2017, when I reached out to him as a student wanting to build my first company. He took me seriously from day one and has guided me ever since, with honest, direct advice, whether I wanted to hear it or not. He taught me that ideas can pivot, but strong teams endure. He shaped my leadership and business mindset, while always treating me as an equal and remaining open to learning from me, my team and our generation as much as we have learned from him.
