​​​I’m Paul, the Founding Partner of bpe search and a key member of the Group Board of Directors. With over 25 years of experience in executive recruitment, I have played a crucial role in scaling brands across diverse sectors such as fintech, insurtech, financial services, consumer and business services, digital e-commerce, technology, SaaS, and manufacturing.

​Since establishing bpe search in 2007, my guiding principle has been the undeniable connection between an organisation’s success and the quality of its leadership. This belief fuels my engagement with founders, boards, executive teams, and private equity investors, driving the formation of high-performing teams that are not only poised for growth but are also transformative in their industries. I am committed to fostering long-lasting relationships, which are strengthened by our foundational values of genuineness, bravery, collaboration, and expertise.

​My approach is to create environments where leadership thrives on diversity and innovation. This dedication to ED&I is not just a professional stance but a personal commitment. I actively work to integrate ED&I into every aspect of our search strategy, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed the evolving expectations of leadership in today’s dynamic business landscape.
