Patrick Walsh's professional journey began in 1998 at Prudential Capital Group and Prudential Securities, where he worked as an investment analyst specializing in Commercial Real Estate and publicly traded REITs. He then advanced to vice president of the real estate, gaming, lodging, and leisure investment banking group at Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. Before founding PW Partners, he was a partner at a value-oriented hedge fund in Chicago.
Patrick's entrepreneurial drive has led him to engage in various industries beyond Wall Street. He has served on the boards of BJ's Restaurants, Del Taco, Famous Dave's of America, and Town Sports International. His involvement with these companies significantly improved their performance, showcasing his investment acumen and business insight. In 2015, Restaurant News recognized him as one of the 50 most powerful people in the restaurant industry.
In 2018, Ernst and Young named Patrick Walsh Entrepreneur of The Year in New York. One of his most remarkable accomplishments was the turnaround of Town Sports, which was on the verge of bankruptcy when he took over in 2016.
