GREAT PRODUCTS ARE
EXPRESSIONS OF GREAT IDEAS

Patrick has a rare "boots-on-the-ground" ability to identify the right facility for the right job. He understands that a factory’s management structure must align with a project’s specific complexity—a nuance that often escapes less experienced directors.

Patrick is a master at building trust across all levels of management. In Asian manufacturing, these relationships are the bedrock of success; Patrick fosters the mutual respect necessary to ensure our partners are as invested in the outcome as we are.

His portfolio is remarkably diverse. He has successfully spearheaded programs ranging from high-volume, single-injection molded toys to highly complex, multi-material, Bluetooth-enabled gyro robots

Patrick managed the cost engineering of new, complex, and functional products incredibly well, and provided the US with the right amount of data in clear and easy-to-understand formats

I highly recommend Patrick McCrea. He delivered exceptional results under real constraints—tight timelines, complex functional products, and at times limited prototyping budget—without sacrificing quality or decision clarity.

Patrick is outstanding in supplier sourcing + cost engineering. He repeatedly lined up strong new supplier partners for new business, and he produced clear, decision-ready cost data that made it easy for U.S. stakeholders to act fast with confidence. His cost analyses were consistently thorough and forward-looking, often mapping multiple scenarios across cost, timing, capabilities, and design constraints before issues surfaced...Patrick is smart, steady, and highly accountable. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.
