Patrick Banasky

CFO
I have been in finance for my 30+ year career. I have worked for some of the largest companies such as AT&T, Starbucks, Washington Mutual, and Philips working on reporting, auditing, budgeting, forecasting, mergers, and acquisitions. One of my proudest achievements was implementing a new inventory process for Starbucks that saved money and lowered coffee waste. However, I have found the most enjoyment in my career working with smaller companies, and that is one of the reasons I joined Retail Lockbox. At Retail Lockbox, you can truly focus on the customer, whether you work in finance, technology, implementation, or production. The other reason I joined Retail Lockbox is due to its people and culture. We truly have great people that care about each other and our customers and want to see all of us grow. Outside of work, I enjoy being with my family, my dogs and playing a little golf.
