Patrick Corbett, Managing Director arvato Ireland IT/High-tech

Patrick has held the role of Managing Director of arvato IT/high-tech Ireland since 2004. He joined Bertelsmann in 1994 and gained significant experience at arvato Ireland during the start-up of the Irish operation in 1994 and subsequent years. This start-up was arvato’s first venture into the Irish landscape and was a response by Bertelsmann to the level of high-tech customer presence by multi-national corporations in the Irish market. 

Patrick transformed the Irish operation from a small single site 2 CD-Line manufacturing facility to a fully integrated end-to-end supply chain operation servicing the software and hardware sectors and more recently BPO services. Under his leadership arvato has continued to win supply contracts and expand offerings to many prestigious blue chip IT/high-tech customers.

With a strong technical and managerial background Patrick uses his knowledge and understanding of the high-tech industry to ensure his team are constantly to the forefront in the acquisition and support of new global clients.

Prior to joining arvato, Patrick worked in various technical roles primarily with an engineering orientation.

Patrick has a degree in Chemistry from University College Dublin and is a fluent German speaker. He is married with 3 children and enjoys outdoor activities.
