Summary
Patrick Beaudoin is a seasoned technology leader with 12+ years delivering engineering and IT strategy across media and SaaS companies, currently serving as Senior Global IT Director at Grass Valley. He has progressed from hands-on web and backend architecture to directing engineering organizations, most recently shaping development strategy and running large rewrites and multi-service, big data efforts at CakeMail and WorkJam. Patrick blends deep operational expertise (Docker, Chef, DC/OS, HDFS, MySQL/Postgres) with strong people management—leading teams of 8–13 and formalizing Agile processes, release management, and automated deployments. He is comfortable bridging exec-level planning and low-level technical choices, having participated in strategic planning while still approving code quality and architectural direction. Based in Montreal, he brings a practical mix of full‑stack languages and system administration experience that helps teams modernize legacy platforms. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of creating repeatable delivery processes and tooling that scale teams as much as systems.
