Director of Human Resources
Diversified Material Specialists (DMSI)
Patrick Alexander leads human resources at DMSI, a Venice-based fiber optic manufacturing firm, where he has helped grow the workforce from 20 to 75 employees while keeping turnover below 10%. He also serves as vice president of SHRM Sarasota and sits on the board of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
When DMSI crossed the 50-employee threshold, it triggered new regulatory requirements. Alexander led the charge to ensure compliance and enhance benefits without increasing costs. His strategic mindset and people-first approach continue to shape DMSI’s culture and growth.
