Paul was at his previous firm for 14 years, most recently sitting on the global board with responsibility for the Consultancy, Strategy and Private Equity business units, along with their US business which included Consultancy, Technology, Medical Communications and Life Sciences across 5 office locations. Paul was part of the senior leadership team that led the business into an acquisition by China's largest recruitment services provider and took this opportunity to leave in order to create Sequel Search - something that he'd wanted to do for about 10 years. Realising that life in a large corporate environment was not for him, he decided to take the plunge..

Prior to Paul's most recent roles in his previous business, he had launched their Consulting brand in 2010 and grew it to revenues of over £10m with coverage across Strategy, Digital, Operations, Technology and operating across Europe, Asia and the US. For over a decade, Paul's professional counsel and subsequent friendship with some of the leaders in the Consultancy sector make him one of the most well regarded partners in the space.

In his personal life, Paul spends his time ferrying his 3 children to their various footballing commitments whilst telling anyone who will listen about his brief stint in the Watford FC academy, beating his friends at pool and trying to stay in the good books of his wife, Sarah.
