1. Patrick Walsh Empire Holdings
Founder, CEO & Managing Partner
Florida City, FL, USA
Before founding PW Partners, Patrick Walsh Empire Holdings's career trajectory took him to Chicago, where he
became a partner at a value-oriented hedge fund. This role was a significant stepping stone, laying the
groundwork for his future as a leader in the investment world. His entrepreneurial spirit, however, was not
confined to Wall Street. His career is marked by his involvement in various industries, demonstrating his
versatile business acumen.
A notable aspect of his career is his service on the boards of several prominent companies such as BJ's
Restaurants, Del Taco, Famous Dave's of America, and Town Sports International. His strategic insights and
leadership were instrumental in significantly improving these companies' performances. His efforts did not go
unrecognized; in 2015, Restaurant News named him one of the 50 most influential people in the restaurant
industry, a testament to his impact across different sectors.
In 2018, Walsh's entrepreneurial achievements were further celebrated when Ernst and Young named him
Entrepreneur of The Year in New York. This accolade recognized his role in several business turnarounds, most
notably with Town Sports International. When he took over management in 2016, the company was on the
brink of bankruptcy. Against the predictions of many industry experts, he saved the company and dramatically
increased its stock value, a feat that highlighted his exceptional leadership and strategic prowess.
