Hi, I am Kerry Paul
“A global business leader exploring alternative perspectives on key issues”
I enjoy challenging people by asking questions and presenting different views to encourage critical thinking. This approach has been effective in raising my sons and throughout my career as a CEO with a focus on global strategy. Researching and understanding the facts about any situation is key to generating feasible options to move forward. Most people respond positively, improving their performance, adopting a solution-oriented mindset, and seizing opportunities for self-improvement.
After years of working 24/7, I reinvented myself by establishing “My Projects,” unpaid activities for my physical and mental well-being and helping others. I continue to challenge people’s thinking. One major project is traveling to key countries to study the interrelationships between people, place, and environment, and how these vary spatially and temporally across and between locations.
