Description

“Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and Enlightenment...reflections on 5 start-ups that not even the Dalai Lama could have advised me”

Paul is an early and growth-centric company leader, currently focused on medical devices and novel healthcare delivery models. Prior to healthcare, he founded/managed businesses focused on high-efficiency solar, specialty chemicals, corporate food solutions (founder), and a wide assortment of sectors while a management and a technology consultant for over a decade. Most recently, he re-aligned all market-facing efforts at a data-driven wound care services firm, defined/quantified phases of value creation, revamped all communications and collateral, and negotiated the most advantageous payer contract in company history. Prior, he was founder/early hire in two med device start-ups, one conducting clinical trials at a Boston-area teaching hospital and the other sold to Medline Industries. Before healthcare, he pivoted two multinationals from flat-to-declining legacy businesses into high growth cleantech (solar) sectors and then was interim President/GM of those new divisions. Before that, he acquired and sold lower mid-market companies with private equity firm KODA and founded one of the first online, consolidated food service firms in Massachusetts, Vmeals Boston (sold to its largest competitor). Early in his career, Paul spent a decade in technology and strategic advisory firms Accenture, Parthenon Group, and Eastwing Group.
