Paul J. (PJ) O’Connor
Vice President, Client Initiatives
In his role as Vice President of Client Initiatives for OC Reilly, PJ identifies and pursues new business opportunities, manages the firm’s client-based teams, and leads the implementation of new strategy.
PJ calls upon nearly 10 years of experience in a startup business environment, along with a passion for developing and implementing solutions that represent clear value to clients. As Executive Director of Business Development and Technology with antibacterial producer and distributor Pelican Solutions LLC, he managed all strategic and operational responsibilities, including sales, marketing, and financials. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in business management and finance from Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania.
“With every customer relationship, we seize the opportunity to improve the day-to-day work lives of individuals, while improving the client’s overall operation,” he said. “We positively influence areas that ultimately effect patient care, so we also have a small impact in bettering the health care world as a whole. Our biggest competitive advantage always comes back to our hands-on involvement with our customers.
“It’s all about my little guy, Ollie, when I’m not working,” PJ added. “As I get the chance, I also don’t mind being out on the golf course or working with my wife, Emily, channeling our best Chip and Joanna Gaines to make improvements to our home.”
