Patrick Linton is an entrepreneur and company builder based in Singapore and Japan. He builds service businesses at the intersection of technology, AI, and global delivery, with a relentless focus on closing the gap between what technology and global workforces promise and what customers actually capture from them.

​

Patrick began his career as a management consultant with Accenture in San Francisco, spending five years across client-facing and delivery roles in Singapore, Japan, the Philippines, and India before leaving to start his first company.

​

In 2013, Patrick founded Bolton Remote, a tech-enabled outsourcing solutions company built to help venture-backed B2B SaaS businesses scale customer success and technical operations without building large in-house teams in expensive labor markets. With delivery centers in the Philippines and Ireland and a customer base concentrated in Silicon Valley and New York, the company grew bootstrapped to 1,000 highly skilled professionals delivering work to some of the most exciting scale-ups in the world. Bolton Remote served as a scaling partner for high-growth companies including SevenRooms (later acquired by DoorDash for $1.2 billion), ClassPass (acquired by Mindbody), Conga/Apttus (Thoma Bravo owned), and ActiveCampaign — typically supporting customer success, technical support, implementation, and product operations as these companies moved from growth-stage to larger enterprise.

​

Bolton Remote differentiated itself from traditional outsourcing providers by building a proprietary Talent Portal that gave clients a SaaS-like buying experience for pre-vetted talent, and by expanding through 3 acquisitions, which culminated in the formation of Bolton Secure, a Security Operations Center (SOC) offering helping Managed Services Providers (MSPs) expand their offerings into managed security. Bolton Remote was named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies four years running (2018–2021) and twice recognized on the Entrepreneur Magazine 360 list, reaching #59 of “The Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America.” In early 2022, it was acquired by SupportNinja, a private equity-backed outsourcing group owned by BV Investment Partners.

​

Today, Patrick is Founder and CEO of Execo, which he started in 2023 as a next-generation GenAI-embedded services company focused on transforming legal services. Execo was built on the thesis that AI fundamentally changes the unit economics of service delivery — but only for providers who can pair the technology with the process design and global delivery infrastructure needed to make it actually work in production. The company grew initially through a combination of acquisitions which quickly established its delivery teams across the US, UK, India, Kenya, the Philippines, Singapore, and South Africa. Today, Execo's 500+ team members across seven countries help more than 100 clients — including companies like Tenstorrent, Howden, Mashreq, and EchoStar, among others — close the gap between legal AI investment and real operational results, delivering services across Legal AI implementation and managed contract and legal operations.

​

In early 2026, Patrick co-founded Rivvun AI, an enterprise agentic AI company focused on autonomous value orchestration — a control layer focused on identifying and acting on value leakage. Rivvun was co-founded with Niranjan Umarane and Anand Veerkar, both former Icertis leaders who helped scale that company from early stage to $400m in annual recurring revenue over the last decade.

​

Over the years Patrick has been an active investor or co-founder in new ventures. He led the 2024 seed round in Graceview, an AI-driven regulatory compliance platform, and served on its board through its 2026 acquisition by Legora, a Stockholm-based legal AI company backed by Atlassian and Nvidia. In 2020 he co-founded fintech company OpenEnvoy, an AI-driven accounts payable automation platform that has raised $24.5M to date, including a Series A led by RRE Ventures. Also in 2020, Bolton Remote spun off a cybersecurity platform, outSOC, which was acquired by Silversky.

​

In 2022, Patrick co-founded FareRx, a Philadelphia-based food-as-medicine company that partners with health insurance plans to deliver curated grocery programs addressing Social Determinants of Health.

​

Patrick is a member of YPO Singapore and serves as Membership Engagement Officer for the YPO SLC Chapter.

​

He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business and a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese from Belmont University, and an MBA from the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School (UK).
