Summary 
 Patrick McLinden is a Human Resource Executive in San Carlos, 
 CA. He has a passion for the new and exciting, and his desire to 
 shake things up and get businesses headed in the right direction has 
 been the foundation for his successful career. 
  
 For Patrick McLinden, his love for strategic HR initiatives come 
 from a deeper underlying passion for psychology. Patrick loves 
 figuring out how and why people think the way they do, and he loves 
 engineering situations where he can help improve their actions by 
 improving their mindset. Patrick is known for his ability to shake 
 things up. 
  
 Patrick is currently the Senior Director of Strategic HR Business 
 Initiatives at VMware - a world leader in cloud infrastructure and 
 digital workspace technology. His work includes Deloitte Consulting's 
 Human Capital global practice as well as serving as the Sr. Director 
 of Learning and Wellness at FitBit, where he helped the founders 
 drive a learning and wellness focused culture. 
  
 In addition to his work as a strategic executive in HR, Patrick's 
 attention to detail is evident in one of his favorite hobbies - home 
 landscaping. For Patrick, designing and cultivating a healthy and 
 vibrant garden is similar to creating and cultivating a healthy and 
 vibrant business culture. Just as great HR initiatives require strategic planning, so do the needs of home landscaping require a similar 
 focus of an attentive mindset.
