About me
I'm Patrick Knowles. I've spent nearly 30 years at the intersection of strategy, organizational alignment, and go-to-market execution, helping large organizations translate complexity into clear direction, turn competing perspectives into shared commitment, and accelerate impact through aligned action.
My career spans both consulting and operational roles, including executive marketing leadership, organizational design, strategic facilitation, and business development across commercial and public sector markets. I've built high-performing teams from the ground up, led large-scale organizational integrations and change initiatives, facilitated strategic alignment at the C-suite level, and developed go-to-market strategies for some of the most complex and competitive segments in the technology and IT services industries. I received my MBA from Georgetown University and have lived and worked on five continents.
I founded Affinium Advisors to bring that experience directly to leadersnavigating critical inflection points: moments that call for a new direction, teams that need to rise to a new challenge, or organizations that need to respond quickly to shifting market dynamics.
