Meet Paul

Motivated by simplicity

With over 20 years of experience in business consulting and corporate strategy, I am an experienced strategist, communicator, and facilitator.
I empower leadership teams to overcome complex challenges and achieve transformative growth.


Working as a collaborative business partner, I support from strategy through to implementation. As a skilled facilitator, I foster open dialogue and innovation, bringing energy and enthusiasm to every project. 

Driven by simplicity, I’m motivated by Apple's design philosophy, the minimalism of Bauhaus design, and the clarity of a Mondrian painting. As Steve Jobs said: “you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
