About

I am an entrepreneur, educator, and innovator with a rich blend of skills in finance, technology, and educational content development. Holding an MBA in Finance and International Business from NYU Stern School of Business, I've dedicated over thirty years to pioneering financial and educational innovations. My journey spans significant roles in financial services, investment banking, and real estate finance, contributing to the growth and risk management of various global businesses. As an author, I've published works like "The Options Applications Handbook: Hedging and Speculating Techniques for Professional Investors" and "Credit Derivatives: Techniques to Manage Credit Risk for Professionals." These books aim to advance financial industry knowledge and practices, offering accessible insights into complex financial concepts and instruments for professionals keen on deepening their understanding of the financial markets. My commitment to innovation is also highlighted by my patent, "System and Method for Utilizing Industry-Specific Competencies to Maximize Resource Utilization," which epitomizes my efforts to enhance efficiency and performance within professional environments. This patent exemplifies my profound grasp of the synergy between technology, finance, and educational methodologies, marking me as a trailblazer in using digital platforms for professional development and organizational enhancement. My extensive experience, successful track record in finance, and contributions to professional education through my writings and patented innovations underline my exceptional capability to navigate and shape the intricate worlds of finance, technology, and education.

Inside Entrepreneurship

Inside Entrepreneurship

A good idea with great execution is infinitely better that a great idea with poor execution. How does Paul know this? He has been involved in over 45 ventures in his career, many of which are great successes and some which have not. All of the great successes had great people. Not necessarily and not often people who were or became famous. In fact, all those successes were built well because the people who were or are involved are smart, hungry, driven and coachable. Not a single venture succeeded merely because it was a great idea or great (actual or potential) product. Not a single venture succeeded merely because there was a massive gap in the market which no one even recognized existed. The single ingredient necessary for success is great people who form, coordinate and cooperate as a team.
