Get to Know Me

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!
