Patrick J. Quincannon is the current CEO of Quincannon Associates (QA), a leading ship brokerage firm that was founded by his father. Growing up in a family with a rich history in shipping, Patrick developed a deep passion for the maritime industry at an early age. After earning a Bachelor of Architecture, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and joined QA in 2003.

Patrick started his career at QA primarily working in operations, but as the company became busier, he took on more responsibilities, including managing Contracts of Affreightment. Although he did not attend a maritime school, his experience working for a chemical tanker operator, combined with the wealth of knowledge he gained at QA, prepared him for the many challenges brokers face each day.

Since taking over as CEO in 2018, Patrick has focused on expanding the company's global reach and strengthening its relationships with clients. Under his leadership, QA has continued to be a leading force in the ship brokerage industry.

Outside of work, Patrick enjoys spending time with his family and participating in outdoor activities such as sailing, hiking, camping, kayaking, hunting, and fishing. His love for the outdoors and his extensive experience in the maritime industry make him a valuable asset to QA and the industry as a whole.
