Patrick Davis Managing Partner:

Patrick entered the HVAC industry as a commercial field tech. After 5 years he opened up his own Commercial HVAC service company. During the life of his company he transformed it to a controls technology company with extensive focus on building optimization using Honeywell, Trane, Teletrol, KMC, Tridium and Carrier Controls platforms. After 9 years of steady growth, leading the local markets in controls solutions, he went on to sell his company to Facility Solutions Group where he continued to operate the division as Design Digital Controls.

Patrick’s impact was recognized by the industry and after two years of operating Design Digital Controls he was recruited to take his ideas and strategies to a national stage with KMC as a National Sales Manager. Patrick continued to delve further in the controls industry, working with companies such as KMC, Honeywell, Schneider, Perot Systems, American Electric Power, Envenergy, and Cisco.

In 2004 he was recruited back to FSG to head up the Energy division where he later was given a position on the Board of Directors. While at FSG his Energy Division flourished and landed numerous large scale metering and IoT centric enterprise energy management projects. He lead his very capable team to design, sell, install and support what would be known as the largest energy lab in the world, integrating local controls and remote analytics to provide visibility into the largest IoT platform for connected real-estate in the world. In November 2014 Patrick left FSG Energy and began doing consulting work. It was in this time that his dreams of Internet of Team began to unfold and take shape.  Patrick is now committed to leading this small team with a large resume to solve huge problems, focusing attention on areas that enterprise real-estate continue to struggle with finding solutions that will achieve and, more importantly, sustain results.

It is Patrick’s “go big” mentality while leading this team that has opened up many unique opportunities and helped the team to create innovative solutions for projects.

Patrick is a dedicated husband and proud father.
