About Paul…

I’m a writer, consultant, mentor and leadership coach with more than three decades of experience building risk management programs in financial services. But more than that, I’m someone who’s spent years thinking deeply about what it means to lead well, and what happens when we don’t.

I believe that people are a company’s greatest asset, and often its greatest risk. That belief led me to devote much of my career to nurturing leadership potential, developing culture, and helping teams align around purpose and trust.

Through my new book, Built on Purpose, I share the moments that shaped my leadership journey and the lessons that might shape yours.

If you’re curious about how we could work together, I’d love to hear from you.
