Dear All, At the end of last year, I left McKinsey & Company after 18 years of tremendous professional and personal growth, to pursue my passion for investing in bold founder teams and helping them turn transformative ideas into reality. With deep gratitude, I would like to say thank you: To "my" Firm – you never felt like work, you always felt like a home. Serving distinctive clients, building countless friendships, and working with so many extraordinary colleagues around the world have shaped me profoundly. It has truly been the honor of my life. Thank you for everything! To my Clients – thank you for your trust, the opportunity to serve you and jointly create impact, and the many professional relationships that became lasting friendships, well beyond my tenure at the Firm. Watching your continued progress and impact fills me with deep joy. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey! To my Family & Friends – your love and support mean the world to me. Thank you for having my back throughout these years and supporting me in all of my endeavors! To "my" Founder Teams - it's been a privilege to work with you over the past 8 months, your journeys deeply inspire me. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story!
Was für ein großartiger Meilenstein nun hinter dir liegt! Es war mir eine Ehre, dich auf einem kurzen Stück davon begleitet haben zu dürfen.
Patrick!!!!! Still in denial about your departure, but very happy for you that you found the next thing that gives you joy. You are passionate about everything that you do, you are a partner and a friend, and all that will carry beyond the Firm. Thank you for everything and best wishes for lots of happiness and success
Wishing you the best ahead!
Looking forward to the next steps of your journey, Dr. Patrick Simon.
Congratulations 🎉
Dr. Patrick Simon, I have fond memories of us meeting during my early days of the LUNAR acquisition/integration. During those disorienting times, meeting you provided me comfort that allies could exist at McKinsey. And while our paths only briefly crossed, watching the trajectory of your path to Sr. Partner was inspiring. Best of luck to you in shaping the next leg of your journey. Enjoy! 🚀
Patrick my friend we will miss you! Wishing you all the best in your new venture !
Alles Gute für Dich Patrick! Viel Spaß und eine glückliche Hand bei Deiner neuen Aufgabe!
