Patrick McCarthy

As Strategic Advisor to The Shine Hope Company, I support strategic growth initiatives, partnerships, and market expansion efforts that help bring the science of Hope to more people, communities, and organizations worldwide.

Drawing on a career spanning business development, strategic partnerships, technology, and executive relationship management, I help advance partnerships across corporate, sports, healthcare, education, technology, and public sector organizations.

My focus includes expanding Hopeful Cities®, growing workplace and performance-based Hope initiatives, securing strategic sponsorships, and supporting the development of technology solutions that make Hope more accessible and measurable at scale.

The Shine Hope Company is pioneering a new category centered on Hope as a measurable, teachable skill. Through evidence-based programs, workplace solutions, city-wide activations, and the My Shine Hope app, we are helping individuals and organizations strengthen resilience, well-being, performance, and human potential. Their flagship program, Hopeful Minds, was recognized as an innovation by the World Bank and we are now Scaling Hope globally.

I also support the work of iFred, the nonprofit organization leading the International Day of Hope on July 12, a globally recognized movement dedicated to advancing Hope as a public health priority and inspiring action in communities around the world. Join us at www.internationaldayofhope.org.
