about breakaway it

Patrick Haenel is the Founder and President of BreakAway IT. He is responsible for Operations, Solution Delivery, and Business Development for BreakAway IT.

Before founding BreakAway IT, Patrick served as a Services Account Executive for Insight (NSIT) covering the Northern California market on the Enterprise Connected Workforce Team. Patrick was successful in selling professional and managed services around the Microsoft portfolio to Fortune 500 companies based in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Gatos, and Santa Clara.

Before Insight, Patrick served as an Account Executive for Provision Networks, a connectivity solution provider with a specialty in healthcare wireless LAN.

During his 7-year time selling technology solutions, Patrick noticed a reoccurring challenge both Fortune 500 and medium-size businesses were experiencing. 

Business IT footprints are continuing to grow more and more complex. Meanwhile, the workforce is becoming less productive even with multiple tools provided to work in or out of the office. This is ultimately holding businesses back from achieving their goals.

Patrick founded BreakAway IT for business owners with goals to break away from their competitors, run a smoother business, and increase year over year revenue.

Outside of his passion for business technology, Patrick enjoys spending time with his wife Kaleigh, competing in Ironman triathlons, surfing, and golfing.
