Paul's full title at Travelers is Assistant Vice President, Marketing and Propositions (a change from the much simpler Marketing Director (Europe) title).
Before Travelers, Paul steadily worked his way up the ranks of marketing via an array of different industries: power, telecoms, financial products, insurance, banking, publishing, and then insurance again.
This breadth of work, including a two-year stint as a global marketing consultant, has given him a formidable set of knowledge and experience.
What it has not done is dent his infectious enthusiasm.
Paul is evangelical about the breakthroughs that good marketing can achieve. He is also a proud advocate of insurance, because it provides support when you need it most.
This Law Firm Ambition website for law firms has been championed by Paul from the start. He could see the scope to provide a set of outstanding resources to help law firms grow and prosper in these difficult times. He also realised the importance of involving the best experts from the word go.
See the Travelers website for topical articles on issues affecting law firms.
