About Paul Sherman

My passion, background, and career experience have made me a strategic thinker, doer and innovator with a results-driven entrepreneurial mindset and hard-earned global marketing expertise. In over 25 years of business leadership, I have led transformational and high-growth environments across the United States, the Americas and internationally. I have been proud to consistently over-deliver on year-over-year sales, new revenues, client growth and customer satisfaction across diverse industries, products and channels. One of the most satisfying moments of my career was the creation of a disruptive innovation that transformed the market for vehicle protection plans with entirely digital products and services that are transparent and trustworthy. As a data-driven technophile, I enthusiastically foster and enable a culture of analytics and am proficient in both synthesizing and effectively communicating performance metrics across functions. I enjoy consumer research and controlled risk-taking to facilitate and accelerate decision-making. Failure simply represents opportunities to learn. In each of my roles, I have had the privilege of engaging talented team members and entrusting them with autonomous decision-making. I maintain lasting staff, partner and supplier relationships by communicating a clear and consistent vision, building personal connections and being authentic.
