Paul has founded four companies and successfully exited three — including an advisory and corporate finance firm he led as CEO across four countries. He was the second hire at a technology incubator named by Forbes as one of the world’s top ten incubators, and the only non-U.S.-based incubator to make the list. He later served on the senior management team of a technology company that achieved a nine-figure exit to a NYSE-listed company. He currently serves as an advisory director to a unicorn. He lives in Amsterdam with his four children.
