Dr. Patrick D. Fagan is the Chief Human Resources Officer for New York City Public Schools, where he champions 140,000 employees and the students they serve. Armed with a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Capella University, he blends data, heart, and humor to build cultures where talent soars. When he’s not crafting people-first strategies, you’ll find him collecting passport stamps, taste-testing street food, and swapping travel tales with anyone who’ll listen. Part strategist, part storyteller, and full-time people enthusiast, Patrick turns big-city challenges into human-sized wins.
