EXITED FOUNDER
Built and sold a cloud-first SaaS platform to a global leader in the print technology sector.
ABOUT PAUL WARREN
For over 30 years, I’ve lived the full spectrum of entrepreneurship. I’ve built multi-million-pound companies from the ground up during global recessions, pioneered award-winning sustainable technology, and led the marketing function for 8 and 9 figure international groups.
I’VE SEEN THE VIEW FROM EVERY SEAT AT THE TABLE:
FROM A TEENAGE DESIGN ENTREPRENEUR STARTING OUT TO A C-SUITE EXECUTIVE NAVIGATING COMPLEX EXITS AND RESTRUCTURING.
I know first-hand the weight of leadership. I know the thrill of scaling and selling a SaaS business to a global industry leader, and I know the grit required to navigate the challenges of a business transition.
These “battle scars” are exactly why I do what I do today. I realised that my true “Zone of Genius” isn’t just running a business, it’s helping other founders grow theirs. I’m here to be your Business Wingman, providing the hard-won, practical expertise you need to reach your goals without the burnout or the expensive “trial and error” phase that stalls so many ambitious firms.
