Serial Entrepreneurship Perspective, Brought to AI
Given his experience co-founding two companies focused on emerging technologies (3D scanning & printing in 1999, Search Engine Optimization in 2005), it is not surprising that AI has captured Paul’s attention as well. Consistent with CybrCastle’s philosophy, Paul takes a holistic approach with AI, appreciating that its transformative impact requires CEO buy-in, a longer-time horizon, and a commitment to change management. His work as both a consultant and coach makes him an excellent resource to help companies navigate the waves of organizational change that AI promises to catalyze in the years to come.
