The Backstory

Paul has always been a little different - born in California, grew up in New Orleans he’s lived more years of his life in Tokyo than any other city and more than half of his life has been lived outside of the US in Europe and Asia. From the age of 13 he had his first international experience in Asia and knew then that a driving theme of his life would be global engagement. The themes of sustainability, contribution and integrity would come a few years later after graduating from a New England boarding school and receiving his undergraduate degree in International Affairs. The geopolitical, economic and environmental global changes that have occurred since were unfathomable at the time.

Trust, quality and empathy in the initial decade of his work life shifting from a manager to a leader who motivates and inspires others.
