Patty Ratermann is a systems strategist and executive leader with a proven record of turning breakdown into infrastructure. Raised in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, she witnessed early on how broken responses can deepen harm. That experience shaped a career built on designing systems that don’t fail people when they need them most.

Her work spans healthcare, finance, and tech, where she’s developed tools to make critical medications more accessible, built capital pathways for overlooked founders, and created public systems that replace confusion with clarity.

Known for her calm in crisis and her ability to solve what others see as unsolvable, Patty brings a rare combination of strategic vision and operational depth. At PostFire, she leads with precision and care—ensuring systems reflect the realities of the people they serve.

She brings the steadiness, ingenuity, and integrity this moment demands—and she leads accordingly.
