Patrick Quay
Principal
Patrick joined Boundary Street in 2022 and focuses on the digital services sector.
​
Why Boundary Street?
I was drawn to Boundary Street by the people, their appreciation for entrepreneurship, and their sector- and thesis-driven approach applied meticulously towards building strong partnerships with our portfolio companies and financial sponsor relationships. The partnership orientation and deep-sector expertise here embodied the ideal capital partner based on my experiences as an operator, so I was excited by the opportunity to apply the Boundary Street way while continuing to align with great companies, management teams, and investors. Also a failed entrepreneur, I never stop appreciating the incredible founders and business leaders in the middle market.
​
Describe your professional journey
Prior to joining Boundary Street, I was a member of the executive team and the Head of Finance for Employee Navigator, a rapidly growing, growth equity backed Insurtech software provider. Prior to Employee Navigator, I spent a decade focused on tech-enabled services sectors while in private equity and investment banking at Sterling Partners, Northlane Capital Partners, and Wells Fargo Securities. At various points in my career, I also held operating roles at companies in the software, services, and healthcare industries, working directly with CEOs and management teams on strategic and operational initiatives.
