John Galaviz, the current chief financial officer, will serve as the firm’s first president, effective immediately.
“The appointment of John to president marks a significant step in Patriot’s evolution as we continue to scale nationally,” Matt Gardner, Patriot chairman and CEO, said. “His leadership, vision, and operational expertise have been instrumental to our success. I am confident that, in this expanded role, John’s efforts will further accelerate our growth and drive the development of the infrastructure needed to best support our agencies and clients.”
