Colleagues describe him as " Paul was my Vice President for six years during my time at Ingredion. Though I did not directly report to him, I had several opportunities to work with him on projects. Paul has always been a generous mentor, willing to share his life wisdom with young professionals and teach us to get the most out of opportunities and challenges. He helped me learn to embrace challenges and encouraged my application to pursue a part-time MBA at NYU while working full-time as a technologist. He also supported me in finding opportunities to gain experience and visibility in business-focused projects while still in a technical role at Ingredion. Paul is genuinely a people-oriented leader who has excellent clarity of the big picture and yet mindful of any situation's nuances. I sincerely appreciate all of the help and guidance Paul provided to me along the way! Show quoted text " and "Paul is an creative, results oriented marketing, technology or business leader. I had the opportunity to see him in many different roles during his tenure at National Starch and Chemical company. During his latest role, he built a grass root group to identify, research, and analyze new market spaces that the company could enter and compete in. I have seen him develop people in different facets of their career, taking raw talent and helping them deliver in a more focused way for the organization, as well as take someone that was operating below their potential and rated below expectations and help them get back on track and start performing once again at a level more consistent with their potential. I would have no problem recommending Paul for any number of roles in a business to business company in multiple industries."
