Hi! I’m Patrick Fornatto, a senior at the University of Iowa triple
majoring in Business Analytics, Finance, and Risk Management.
Originally from the Chicagoland area, I’ve always thrived on
connecting with people and building meaningful relationships.
Consequently, after graduating in May 2025, I’ll be moving to Austin,
Texas to join Oracle as a Sales Development Representative at their
global headquarters, where I’m excited to help businesses grow with
cutting-edge cloud and AI solutions. I’m driven, competitive, and love
taking on new challenges. Outside of work, you’ll find me watching
Italian soccer, snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains, or diving into
books on behavioral psychology.

Leadership and Involvement
Throughout my college experience, I’ve remained actively involved in a
variety of organizations and events that have shaped both my
professional and personal growth. I was a member of Tippie Thrive and
held two on-campus jobs simultaneously—one at my business school
supporting academic advisors, and another at the Campus Recreation &
Wellness Center. I also participated in StoryLab, a public speaking
event, and was honored to receive a scholarship from the Vaughan
Institute of Risk Management. Above all, what I’m most proud of are
the relationships I built through each of these experiences. They
reflect my passion for leadership, my drive to connect with others,
and my commitment to constant growth. I’m incredibly grateful to the
University of Iowa and to everyone who has supported me throughout
this journey!
