Patrick Byrne is the chairman, CEO and president of Overstock.com.

Based upon his belief in value investing and measuring the return on every dollar spent, Patrick has structured his responsibilities and those of his executive staff to span multiple departments that are traditionally managed separately. Complementing his chief executive duties, Patrick also oversees the merchandising department, which enables him to closely monitor profit margins and sales.

Patrick currently serves on the boards of White Mountains Insurance Group. Previously, he was chairman, president and CEO of Centricut, LLC and held the same three positions at Fechheimer Brothers, Inc.

Patrick is a multi-faceted individual, having received his bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College, a master's degree from Cambridge as a Marshall Scholar, and a doctorate in philosophy from Stanford University. A dedicated philanthropist, he considers Overstock's Worldstock department one of his proudest business accomplishments. Additionally, Patrick, a three-time cancer survivor, biked across the United States in 2000 to raise awareness for cancer research.
