Pat Berges,

Pat Berges has spent his career testing and proving a single conviction: that truly human leadership is the most powerful competitive advantage an organization can have. It is a belief shaped by decades of experience across more than 60 countries, in some of the world's most complex organizations - and deepened by his friendship with Bob Chapman, the visionary Chairman and long-time CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, who remained a mentor and trusted voice throughout Pat's career.

As an executive at the world’s largest medical technology company, Pat’s ability to build high-performing teams led to transformational innovations, including the creation of Culture Circles, an employee empowerment initiative that transformed team performance, engagement, and retention at scale, a model that has since been adapted for leader and culture transformation in the public sector. Pat was also a founder of the Ventilator Training Alliance, a cross-sector collaboration that earned a 2020 Medical Innovation of the Year Award and helped save lives around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pat later served as Executive Director of The Curve Initiative, a nonprofit founded by best-selling author Simon Sinek focused on transforming police culture from the inside out.

Pat was the founder and managing partner of H3 Leadership, now part of Chapman & Co., built on the belief that the most inspirational people lead with their heads, hands, and hearts.

At Chapman & Co., Pat leads leadership development engagements with a clear focus: helping the world's leading organizations build cultures where people are developed, performance follows, and leadership becomes a lasting competitive advantage.
