Paul is the Fintech and blockchain Lead for PwC, and is a financial services strategist. He has worked for and advised corporates and startups in London and Cape Town from civil engineering to middleware to insurance. Outside work you may find him running on the mountain.
Paul began his career as a civil engineer in London, then moved to a large consultancy, managing large programmes. He moved to Cape Town in 1998 and joined a small strategy firm. In the first IT boom, he joined a middleware startup, 10 years before "The Lean Startup" was published, trying to work things out on the fly. When he didn't become an IT billionaire, he went back to strategy consulting, running a boutique strategy firm focused on financial services. He joined PwC in 2012 and is now the Fintech and Blockchain lead for PwC in South Africa. He advises both corporates and startups and focuses on blockchain and its impact across the industry.
