SEI Appoints Patrick Donegan as Managing Director in Philadelphia

In a significant move to bolster its presence in the Greater Philadelphia area, SEI—a prominent employee-owned consulting firm—has recently announced the appointment of Patrick Donegan as the Managing Director of its Philadelphia office. In addition to his new role in Philadelphia, Donegan will also oversee the company's Brand and Marketing strategy while maintaining alignment across various industries. This dual responsibility builds upon his prior successes in driving growth at SEI and showcases the firm’s commitment to elevating its brand in the region and beyond.

A Proven Leader with a Vision for Growth

Patrick Donegan brings over 16 years of experienced leadership to his new position. His previous role as Chief Strategy Officer at SEI saw him leading transformative initiatives aimed at modernizing the company's technology frameworks, enhancing its business development capabilities, and improving the systems that aid both SEI employees and their clients. His first significant contribution was as the Managing Director of the Washington, D.C. office, where he successfully established a high-performing team that laid the foundation for the firm's growth in that region.

With Patrick's extensive experience, SEI aims to propel its next phase of development in Philadelphia, a hub that is rapidly becoming recognized for its potential. As he steps into this leadership role, Patrick emphasizes the importance of collaboration and teamwork—elements that have been crucial to SEI's success over the years.

"Our strength lies in the ability to integrate technical excellence with real partnerships," Donegan stated. His vision involves not only continuing to develop existing client relationships but also forging new partnerships across various sectors such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, financial services, technology, and education.

Grounds for Optimism

SEI Philadelphia, which opened its doors in 2020, has quickly established a reputation as a reliable partner for various Fortune 100 clients in the Greater Philadelphia area. Under the previous leadership of John Tarczewski, the office solidified its standing and made significant strides in client relationships.

John, who has been with SEI for over 15 years, will transition into a Principal Consultant role, leveraging his expertise to support both current and prospective clients. Patrick expressed his gratitude for John’s foundational contributions and emphasized the strong roadmap laid out for continued success.

Targeting Local and National Growth

In his new role, Patrick Donegan will focus on expanding the office's footprint and enhancing its local and national impact. The Greater Philadelphia region, generating over $450 billion in gross regional product, represents one of the most influential and talent-rich markets in the United States. Patrick's track record, particularly in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and mergers and acquisitions, positions both him and SEI for sustained success.

SEI's leadership is optimistic about this transition. Bill Gallagher, the CEO of SEI, expressed confidence in Patrick's ability to elevate the company's strategy and culture. "Patrick embodies the SEI mindset—invested in our mission, collaborative with our clients, and focused on long-term success," Gallagher noted.
