Patel used his background in finance and law to work as an investment banker for many years. During that time, he helped many leading U.S. companies navigate some the country's most tumultuous economic times—including the 2001 recession, 9/11, the mortgage crisis and the great recession.

In addition, Patel led the firm's Business Retention, Expansion and Attraction platform, where he worked with local businesses and recruited young and growing companies to the area—a key part of the city's and state's economic development strategy.

Abhay grew up in Forest, Mississippi – a small town of 5,000 people in the heart of the Deep South. Before moving there in 1982, Abhay and his family lived in five other states (IL, FL, TX, OK and LA), as his parents looked for stable employment and a place to permanently settle. With the help of friends, Abhay's father ultimately found a small motel in Forest (Scott Motel, named for the county), which he owned and operated. The property was located on the edge of town, had 15 rentable units and doubled as his parents’ small business and home.

Abhay Patel, (born January 21, 1976), is a Louisiana businessman and was the 2016 Republican candidate for the United States Senate. Patel has spent his career advising corporate leaders, raising capital to support business expansion and leading economic development.
