A widely respected marketing and technology industry veteran, Reynolds brings a unique mix of experiences in marketing roles for B2B, B2C, agency, data, and martech organizations to BlueConic. Previously, Reynolds was SVP of Data and Services at Mastercard, where he led the worldwide demand generation function. He also served as CMO at SessionM, which was acquired by Mastercard in 2019. Prior to SessionM, Reynolds ran marketing and strategy for digital audio technology company Triton Digital, and held multiple leadership positions with leading international advertising agencies, including Carat, Publicis, and Hill Holliday.

Reynolds’ appointment marks a pivotal point in BlueConic’s acceleration from start up to scale up following the strategic investment from renowned software investor Vista Equity Partners. Trusted by over 300 companies worldwide, BlueConic transforms the way business teams understand and interact with customers in the privacy-first era. By making unified, actionable, and consented first-party data accessible across systems of customer insight and activation in real time, business teams can deliver timely, personalized cross-channel interactions, and drive positive outcomes from their strategic growth initiatives.

“Patrick brings a hard-to-find trifecta of marketing practitioner bona fides; encyclopedic industry knowledge; and people-first leadership to the role. His curiosity about new ways to solve problems and his highly collaborative approach to building a go-to-market engine stood out to us as both an accelerant for our organization and a highly aligned fit into our culture and company vision,” said Cory Munchbach, president and COO of BlueConic. “In many ways, it’s felt more like Patrick was away on sabbatical and is coming back after time away rather than joining us for the first time now. We are thrilled to have him at the helm of what was already a world-class marketing organization.”

“The immediate challenge we're helping customers face is converting all their first-party data from 'stuff they collect' (at considerable expense) to 'stuff they use' as central building blocks to how they engage their customers and structure their experiences,” said Reynolds. “Many profess to have designed a way. Few can deliver. None do so in the People+Platform way BlueConic does. Can't wait to get going.”

Mindbreeze InSpire Reduces Token Maxxing, Turning Runaway AI Costs Into Predictable Enterprise Value28.7.2026 16:03:00 EEST | Press release

Mindbreeze, a leading global provider of AI-based knowledge management solutions, today announced that Mindbreeze InSpire reduces token maxxing, the costly overconsumption of large language model (LLM) tokens that is straining enterprise AI budgets. By retrieving only the most relevant, grounded content and passing it to LLMs with precision, Mindbreeze InSpire lowers the tokens required per answer while improving accuracy, giving enterprises a path to scalable AI with predictable economics. Token maxxing has become one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise AI. As organizations connect generative AI to their data, many default to injecting large volumes of undifferentiated context into every prompt, repeatedly, across thousands of queries. Industry analysis has warned that tokens are becoming the true unit of AI cost, with usage-driven and nonlinear spending that is difficult to forecast and quick to erode margins. The problem is rarely the model. It is what the model is asked

Uptime Institute today released the findings of its 16th Annual Global Data Center Survey, the most comprehensive study of the digital infrastructure sector. The 2026 results reveal an industry navigating workforce constraints, escalating outage expenses, even as rising costs remain the top concern for management teams. Financial Pressure and Resource Constraints Intensify: While high costs continue to be a primary concern for data center leaders, the 2026 survey also highlights escalating concerns over capacity forecasting, power availability, and supply chain disruptions. Power efficiency gains remain gradual. The industry saw minor improvements in average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) levels this year. While newer facilities may boast highly efficient designs, overall global progress is slowed by legacy infrastructure. The AI and Density Reality Check: Despite market enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence, expectations for AI in data center operations cooled slightly in 2026. Oper
