The Financial Times declared Paul "a standout CEO of the past decade\u201d - as he is a leading proponent that business should be a force for good. And the Economist declared Paul "An advocate of sustainable capitalism explains how it's done."

Paul also served as the CEO of Unilever from 2009-2018, where he created - and proved-  a long-term approach to global problems can also drive business performance. Prior to Unilever, he was Nestle\u2019s CFO & Head of Americas. And of course, Paul got his start at P&G, where he spent 27 years rising through the ranks ultimately leading Europe for P&G.

Paul is chair of the International Chamber of Commerce, The B Team, Sa\xefd Business School and Vice-Chair of the UN Global Compact.
