Paul brings decades of experience in retail financial services, where he advised private and corporate clients on long-term wealth strategy - with a particular focus on business exits, intergenerational wealth stewardship, and fiduciary compliance. His specialism in investment manager due diligence led him to develop a structured process for trustees, and in doing so he built a broad, cross-disciplinary network spanning legal, accounting, and advisory professionals. Paul’s collaborative approach has always been central to how he serves business owners with complex financial needs. At Funding Gap, he channels that expertise into connecting growth-stage businesses with the right capital and technology partners - shortening the distance between ambition and outcome.
