Patrick in a few words
Hello there! I’m Patrick Urban. My journey spans over 25 years of experience in tech, digitization, digital transformation, SaaS, B2C, B2B, retail, and consumer goods, serving as a seasoned executive and former C-Level manager. My hands-on mentality has guided me in reshaping businesses, steering them towards sustainable growth in an ever-evolving digital world.

I thrive at the intersection of marketing and business development. My skills allow me to align your brand, the respective product and service offerings, and business with your target audience and the ever-changing market dynamics. My approach, cultivated from analyzing your brand, business strategy, product and service portfolio, and operational processes, provides a fresh, user-centric perspective into your operations.

As an execution-driven business development manager and astute positioning specialist my services extend beyond consultation. I ensure your strategic vision morphs into sustainable growth. This involves orchestrating strategic partnerships, managing projects, and overseeing implementation processes.

At the heart of my work lies a steadfast focus on the end-user. I craft scalable, accessible strategies that ensure your products and services don’t merely innovate but also resonate with your target audience.

Facing the challenges that tech, Web3, and traditional companies often grapple with, I provide bespoke marketing, brand positioning, and business development services. These services are delivered in a strategic and yet operational manner, designed to be feasible.

Together, let’s join hands to elevate your business and unlock its full potential.
