Working with Paul has been an absolute game-changer for my start-up, Staffroom.
As a female founder, I faced numerous challenges that sometimes left me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the direction of my business. Paul helped me gain clarity on the direction of my business and reinforced my belief in myself and my ability to succeed.
What I appreciated most about working with Paul was his ability to understand my unique situation and provide tailored advice that was both actionable and effective. He also introduced me to valuable connections in my industry space, which helped me expand my network and accelerate the growth of my start-up.
Overall, I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to grow their company. His knowledge, expertise, and personalised approach are second to none, and I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with him. Thanks to Paul, I feel more confident than ever in my ability to achieve my goals and take my business to the next level.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul as my coach for several years, and he has been an invaluable source of guidance and support as I navigated the ups and downs of start-up life.
When I connected with Paul, I was impressed by his wealth of experience as an entrepreneur, founder and coach. His insights and advice were always tailored to my unique circumstances and challenges, and I found his practical, actionable suggestions to be extremely helpful.
Over the years, Paul helped me stay focused and grounded during some of the most stressful periods of my start-up journey. He listened to my concerns and challenges, and always took the time to offer thoughtful, well-informed guidance that helped me move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Thanks to Paul’s mentorship, I was able to secure series A funding for my mental health tech company, Ooca, which was a major milestone that I don’t believe I could have achieved without his support.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Paul, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach who truly cares about their success.

I worked with Paul as a coach during COVID, which was a difficult time for us as a growing, geographically dispersed start-up. Through our work together, I was able to gain additional clarity into my own thinking, which in turn helped AdInMo emerge from those times as a better company with a stronger focus and strategy.

I was sceptical at the start – thinking “how could this white dude understand me, my situation – an Asian female in a male-dominated world?” I stand corrected.
Paul is patient: He listens and he understands. He is sensitive yet not patronising. He doesn’t tell you what to do, instead guides you to uncover the gems under the mess. He nudges you ever so subtly that you are comfortable in being out of the comfort zone.
Perhaps it was his vast experience in the startup world working with founders, or his natural wisdom, or his acute insights into your deepest fear that’s limiting your potential, or having worked in Asia for decades, or all of the above. Most importantly, his passion and joy in seeing founders succeed and willingness to work together with you, instead of on you, that really drew me.
Through working with Paul, I gained insightful perspective, set firmer footing, and started to feel the energy filling in.
Thank you for your guidance. Thank you for your teachings. Thank you for helping in creating Anglia 2.0. Thank you Paul.

Paul is one of our (and our start-ups’) favourite coaches.
He has such a deep knowledge of start-ups – he’s helped our global start up finalists with everything from perfecting their story and pitch, to working with them on building a robust business model, to guiding them to grow and scale in different countries.
He’s extremely sharp in his advice, drawing from his years of experience, while remaining very patient and kind through it all. Paul continues to be an important and vital part of our SheLovesTech mentorship program.

Paul has been an amazing mentor/coach at Chinaccelerator and MOX (both now part of Orbit Startups) helping our start-ups scale up and expand cross-border across Asia.
I recommend start-ups that have product market fit and ready to take sales to the next level work with Paul.

I highly recommend Paul to anyone feeling stuck and wanting to progress their business further. Paul’s unique blend of coaching and mentoring has been invaluable. When I first started receiving coaching from Paul, I thought it would be 100% focused on business strategy. However, I quickly discovered that many of our sessions were geared towards gaining a deeper understanding of myself and developing a stronger sense of self-awareness. He understands the importance of having the correct mindset to achieve your goals.
As the coaching continued, I moved from feeling frustrated and constantly entangled in my company’s operational issues to a place where I could take a higher-level view. This shift allowed me to achieve clarity of direction that aligns with my lifestyle and what I aim to achieve as I continue my journey in entrepreneurship.
Paul’s approach to business mentoring is both friendly and professional, filled with valuable insights into how to successfully run and grow a business. His finely-tuned listening skills and his ability to process information and then provide suggestions I would never have considered, have been remarkable.
Thank you, Paul, for helping me transform my business and mindset.
