Biography
With over 30 years in the healthcare field, Paul has talked on a wide range of topics pertaining to healthcare delivery, drug development, personalized medicine, and interactions with Thought Leaders. "Being a jazz musician in my spare time has helped me learn when to hold a solid way forward, and when to improvise during a changing environment." said Paul. Being trained in benchmarking processes and futures research has allowed Paul to not only look backwards at who is best-in-class, but also who will be leading the pack in years to come.
Having held a leadership role in a variety of responsibilities, both professionally and in the community, Paul has developed insight in working with Thought Leaders in the healthcare.
Paul’s educational background includes a Masters of Science in biomedical science from the University of Guelph (1977), and more recently a Masters of Public Health from the Gillings School of Global Public Health from the University of North Carolina (2010). From his early days at Merck, starting as a sales representative, then Product Manager to Sales Director and Director of Product Management, to his role as Global Director of Marketing, Group Director of Business Planning and Strategy to Worldwide Commercial Director for Predictive Medicine at GlaxoSmithKline, Paul built a 25-year record of achievement in pharmaceutical sales, marketing, and strategy development.
After leaving the Pharmaceutical Industry, Paul founded two healthcare consulting companies in 2005 and 2006. Clear Point Health channels his wide range of expertise in marketing, strategic planning, clinical operations, personalized medicine, biomarkers and companion diagnostics, while Thought Leader Select allows him to be creative on the value of working with Thought Leaders in Healthcare.
