Paul’s professional expertise is primarily within the advertising world, having held managerial responsibilities in top tier media and agency organisations. Throughout his experience, one of the weakest areas of the companies he has worked for has been the management, sharing and availability of data. His strong belief that data empowers individuals and that easy access to information is essential to corporate progress led him to explore the world of Power BI.

He very much enjoys helping others solve problems while learning in the process.
