More about Patrick:
Patrick launched GIvve in 2010 as a company selling universal gift vouchers. Initially targeting consumers (B2C), the business saw limited success. Recognizing the need to adapt, Patrick strategically shifted GIvve's focus to a business-to-business (B2B) model. Capitalizing on country-specific tax incentives, such as Germany's €50 per employee tax-exempt benefit, GIvve now supplies prepaid credit cards for companies to offer as tax-free perks to employees. Patrick's leadership and agility have made GIvve a key player in providing practical financial solutions that fit seamlessly into an employee's daily essentials—right next to their keys and phone.
