Reflecting on his career, Mr. Patel has been deeply driven by the idea of food security. Growing up in Queens, he witnessed firsthand how some communities lacked access to basic necessities, including food. This experience led him to examine people’s lifestyles more closely.

He recognized the critical role that these principles play in ensuring the integrity of financial reporting and decision-making and has been committed to upholding them throughout his career. Additionally, he takes pride in his efforts to automate functions within his company, which helps him shape and support food systems. In light of his impressive undertakings, he has received various awards and accolades throughout his career, including being awarded the Yeshiva Full Scholarship, participating in the Macaulay Honors Program at Baruch College, and receiving the National Advanced Regents Honor.
Mr. Patel attributes his success to his unwavering work ethic, commitment to ethical principles, and determination to keep his head down and put in the work. He has adopted the “keep grinding” mentality, which has helped him achieve his goals and create positive outcomes. He is passionate about using his success to help those who lack access to resources and is eager to make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
Looking to the future, Mr. Patel hopes to help build an Accenture office in New York, training aspiring business analysts and facilitating the transition of people back into a physical office space. He strongly believes in fostering a sense of community and sharing among individuals and aims to contribute to developing competent and ethical certified public accountants. In addition to his career aspirations, he is also passionate about connecting the concept of food equity with sustainable agriculture and creating ongoing access to food education. His ultimate goal is to ensure everyone has access to quality food, regardless of their background or circumstances.
