Paul’s journey from an award-winning classically trained chef to a corporate leader began with his foray into product development at the onset of the British ready-meal boom. Driving past Wembley Stadium during Euro 96 Inspired by Coca-Cola’s activation of the tournament, he made it his mission to secure a role at Coke.
He then spent almost three decades in the Coca-Cola system, working his way up the organisation from Vending Salesman to running product innovation. He led the UK’s most prominent field sales team before moving into marketing, becoming UK and Ireland Marketing Director before Global People and Culture roles.
Paul’s narrative is one of Growth Mindset as he shares his journey of overcoming imposter syndrome, burnout, and a mental health breakdown. Paul lives in Oxfordshire with his wife Jenny and 21-year-old daughter. He is a keen photographer and a collector of vinyl records, and he is still very passionate about food and the great British pub.
"Paul is great at giving broad, thought-provoking perspectives from his varied lives to bring the growth mindset alive for the individual both inside and outside work."
