Patrick Dunn is an internationally recognised leadership strategist, advisor, and the creator of the Lead With Soul™ framework. With over two decades of experience across corporate, nonprofit, and community sectors, he has worked with leaders worldwide to inspire more purposeful and impactful ways of leading. His signature philosophy, built on the Four Pillars of Soulful Leadership—Purpose Over Position, Authenticity in Action, Soulful Connection, and Regenerative Impact—has positioned him as a sought-after voice in leadership, sustainability, and cultural transformation. Patrick is known for blending compelling storytelling with practical strategies, making him a powerful and engaging speaker for audiences seeking to navigate leadership in today’s complex world.

Patrick’s career began in the corporate sector, where he developed expertise in disaster recovery, resilience, and organisational leadership. From senior consultancy roles to leadership positions at Cognizant Technology Solutions, NNIT, and Cushnoc Resiliency Advisors, he built a reputation for guiding organisations through times of disruption and change. His ability to unite technical insight with a people-centred approach earned him recognition, including NNIT’s Global Project of the Year in 2020. These early experiences laid the foundation for his unique leadership philosophy, one that connects resilience with purpose and vision.

In recent years, Patrick has expanded his work globally, serving in senior roles such as Global Head of Disaster Recovery at Broadridge and later as founder of Paxaterra Global, an initiative designed to align leadership with sustainability and social impact. His contributions as a strategic advisor and keynote speaker for organisations such as Club Climate Europe reflect his commitment to integrating the European Green Deal, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and community-driven climate action into leadership practice. With engagements spanning Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia, he continues to shape conversations on how leaders can drive meaningful change.

Patrick is hired as a speaker because he inspires leaders to think beyond profit and position, encouraging them to act with authenticity, connection, and regenerative intent. His talks equip audiences with both the mindset and tools to create lasting impact in their organisations and communities. By weaving together his global experience, his Lead With Soul™ framework, and his deeply human approach to leadership, Patrick empowers audiences to embrace leadership not just as a role, but as a calling.
