Background

About Paul Stanford

I have amassed 30+ years of distinguished leadership and business management experience spanning a wide range of business sectors - including Consumer & Commercial Banking, Electronics manufacturing, Paper Production, Tool & Die Fabrication, and Diplomatic Security. A Six Sigma Master Black Belt, I have extensive expertise in both Transactional and Manufacturing applications of that methodology. I have a strong track record of success and one that is uniquely global - living and working for 12-18 months in Asia, Europe, and South America. In addition to success in the corporate world, I am also a successful entrepreneur with a proven track record of maximizing the risk/reward equation for both short, and long-term business strategies – particularly in real estate investing. I am the sole proprietor of an investment property portfolio with over $4M in managed assets. My former colleagues and managers would attribute my consistent business leadership success to my reputation for being: • Pragmatic • Results oriented • Adept at defining and building consensus on business strategy • Skilled at aligning large, cross-functional teams in heavily matrixed organizations to common business goals • Effective at both oral and written communication which is clear, succinct, compelling, and always customized for the audience • An executive presence with keen interpersonal & business acumen • A “Quick Study”, able to learn a business, its goals, and to then identify the “critical few” levers available to drive value-add process change.
