“I approach leadership by aligning people around clear goals, removing friction, and executing with discipline. Success is built through accountability, collaboration, and efficient action – turning strategy into measurable results while empowering the team to perform at its highest level, consistently and purposefully.”
Communication is the bedrock of all successful external and internal business partnerships, and no short- or long-term goal can be achieved without ensuring all relevant points of contact are aligned. It is also the foundation of Patric Berkery’s leadership style and outlook on achieving success; a team that never forgoes accountability or a consistent exchange of ideas and questions.
This philosophy has been invaluable in driving Wingspire’s most notable recent successes, including the most fiscally successful year in the firm’s history. Berkery attributes this success not just to the tireless work of the capital markets team, but also to the multi-department synergy fueled by regular communication and routine, standardized alignments.
Berkery’s desire to achieve collective results alongside his team stems from his inherent fascination and passion for specialty finance. After landing an internship at CIT Bank’s larger-ticket equipment finance department, Berkery quickly grew to appreciate the value that the sector provides dedicated his career to delivering value in the space through effective and transparent leadership.
Berkery summarizes his approach to delegation and leadership in three words: efficient, patient and responsive. He recognizes that, above all else, time is of the essence in equipment finance. Deals and partnerships move quickly, and teams need regular updates to function optimally, but speed cannot be prioritized over quality.
Whether it is through providing transparent updates to clients and customers or setting actionable goals and benchmarks for his team, Patric Berkery has proven himself to be an asset to any equipment finance team looking to scale through authentic relationship building and management of expectations.
