Paul was a fantastic partner to the campaign and product marketing teams, and I personally loved working with him when I was at IBM Security. He regularly provided us with deep dives and actionable insights to optimize our digital marketing channels. His patience, enthusiasm, coaching and ability to get to the entire team to the same place was impressive. He is an asset to any organization and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Paul again.
