Patrick Fitzgerald is a seasoned geospatial and information management leader with over a decade designing open-source, standards-based data platforms for humanitarian, health, and environmental decision-making. Currently Head of RAM at WFP Libya, he applies advanced statistical analysis and geospatial methods (R, Python, OGC standards) to generate representative food security and market intelligence that inform cash-based social protection. He founded and led ReportHub, a multi-sector real-time reporting platform deployed across complex responses in Cox’s Bazar, Colombia, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Somalia and Ethiopia, supporting thousands of users and dozens of partners. Patrick’s career bridges technical delivery and strategic coordination—from implementing DHIS2/EWARS interoperability and PHIS standards to leading VAM/M&E teams that scaled donor funding and program reach. His honours-winning research on live OGC services for carbon stock monitoring foreshadowed a career spent operationalizing spatial data infrastructures for government and humanitarian systems. Based in Perth, he combines field-proven logistics and program leadership with hands-on systems architecture for resilient, evidence-driven response.
