QR_ is delighted to announce the addition of Patrick Gallagher to the QR_ family as Managing Director of our US entity, Quick Release Inc.
Overseeing all aspects of the North American market, Patrick joins at an exciting time and will help Josh Spiesch and Ignazio Vrito drive growth and organisational development in our Michigan and California business units — better supporting existing and future clients, accelerating their development programmes, realising engineering efficiencies, and making digital work.
US-based Consulting and Special Projects software development capacity is also in the process of substantial expansion, to ensure a holistic offering and the highest service levels for our digital tools — including QRonos.
Previous lives saw Patrick in executive management, manufacturing, programme management, sales, and launch roles in the automotive sphere — and as a plaintiff's attorney representing clients in aviation disasters after being called to the State Bar of Michigan.
Outside of work, Patrick enjoys spending time with his family, being on the water, coaching youth hockey, home remodelling (or any reason for a project), and playing hockey or golf when he can find the time.
Always up for a chat — drop Patrick a line to arrange a coffee (or beer), talk through your product development challenges, or simply catch up.
