He’s been advising companies for more than 20 years, while being an entrepreneur for nearly 30 years.

He has given keynote addresses in front of audiences reaching up to 20,000 people, and appeared on national TV, radio and media in more than 50 countries.
He has hosted major world class conferences, including world firsts (in the air in an Airbus 380 for instance!), interviewed CEOs and heads of state on stage, or hosted corporate TV shows.
Trained in global affairs, serial tech entrepreneur, and creative at heart, Paul advises a variety of organizations, from venture to startups, large companies to governments.
His thinking appeared on The Economist, ABC, Channel 4, TF1, the Financial Times, ABS-CBN or the Japan Times.
Organizations like Microsoft, EY, Unilever, Criteo, Conde Nast, Lagardere, eBay, EDF, Alcatel-Lucent, Fujitsu, Motive Partners, SABMiller, QBE, MIT, Tumblr, the EU, the International Air Transport Association, the ITU and many others have trusted him to challenge them.
He uses all the learnings from his advisory and entrepreneur career to deliver speeches globally, and a world class emcee.
Since 1994, Paul always has been at the forefront of innovation with an intense focus on the customer experience. In 1995, he was building websites when nobody knew what the web was. In 1998, he was in the founding team creating the first mobile web services globally, and maps for Nokia phones, when nobody knew what smartphones were. In 2007, he was building social media services, when few had already been there. In 2013, he was launching podcasts, before that became fashionable.
Since 2008, he’s been advising on the interaction between our human societies, our consumer instincts, and the rapid pace of technology & AI, ahead of what is today one of the hottest debate.
Paul is a Swiss, a Greek and a Finn. He has lived all around the world, from Tokyo to Geneva, Manila to London. He has worked in 50+ countries. He speaks several languages.
