Operator-strategist who builds predictable delivery and scalable operating models.

About

Patty Reddy

I build clarity, control, and momentum in complex environments. With 20+ years leading global software delivery, PMO transformation, and AI-enabled operations at enterprise scale, I specialize in turning ambiguous situations into disciplined, repeatable systems. From rebuilding delivery operating models to restoring execution credibility on distressed programs, I align engineering, product, finance, and services around outcomes that matter.

Direct, structured, and outcome-first. Empathetic with high standards. I'll tell you the truth, even when it's inconvenient—because that's how results happen.

What I'm known for

  • Turning ambiguity into an operating system
  • Improving reliability and delivery outcomes—not just process theater
  • Aligning product, engineering, finance, and services around measurable goals
