Patrick Guarasci began his career working for Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and soon after with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. His early experiences in these significant roles in a pivotal swing state shaped his passion for public service and large-scale political strategy.

Patrick has worked with an impressive array of political figures including presidents, governors, senators, and congresspeople, but one of his most notable roles was as the general consultant for Janet Protaciewicz's historic campaign for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This campaign highlighted his deep understanding of the political landscape and his ability to drive successful strategies in high-stakes environments.

In founding G. Strategies, Patrick aimed to tackle complex challenges across political, nonprofit, and socially responsible entrepreneurship sectors. Colleagues often jest that he started the firm to collaborate with individuals smarter than himself—a testament to his commitment to team-driven success.

His expertise in national fundraising has led him to work with transformative leaders like Stacey Abrams, focusing on crucial issues like voting rights and voter access. His efforts continued as he took on the role of lead national fundraising consultant for Stacey Abrams during her 2018 gubernatorial campaign.

Beyond his political achievements, Patrick is deeply involved with innovative nonprofits and ventures ranging from entrepreneurs and start-ups to venture funds and accelerators, all sharing the ambition to change the world.

Patrick is a graduate of Northfield Mount Hermon School and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Macalester College. He also earned a Masters Degree in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and has contemplated returning to academia to complete a doctorate focused on the executive power of presidents, governors, and mayors.

Alison Modrak is an experienced project manager with nearly a decade of work under her belt throughout the midwest and nationwide. From building out national finance plans on highly competitive executive and legislative races across the country, to helping socially responsible start-ups and non-profits get off the ground and be successful, Alison believes that the solution to complex issues are not found alone, but rather by smart, hardworking people together under a common cause. Alison knows that an organization's success is not measured by size, but by its impact on those who are served.

Making the world a little bit better than the way she found it is what motivates and inspires Alison to do the work she does. She has had the great opportunity to work alongside some highly innovative and progressive thought leaders, such as Stacey Abrams and Congressman Mark Pocan, and on impactful social justice projects like Public Rights Project and the Sherman Phoenix.

Alison attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she received her Bachelors degree in Political Science with an emphasis in law.

Zach's portfolio includes the management of political fundraising operations, project management with for-profit altruists, and the planning/execution of major gift programs for non-profits with local, statewide, and national footprints.

The opportunity to help better our communities, improve our society, and bring people together is what brought Zach to G Strategies. His work with Mayor Tom Barrett in Milwaukee, in the fight to deliver a truly representative democracy to Georgia (and the Deep South), and to partner with innovative thinkers/actors across the country to achieve big goals is just some of what has made his time at G Strategies most fulfilling. He is energized by knowing there is always more good work to be done. Read More
