In addition to his broad-based business acumen, Paul's expertise in the areas of finance, audit, Sarbanes-Oxley, IPOs, human resources, real estate, and executive and equity compensation plans make him uniquely qualified to provide leadership in these areas and be a valuable resource for management and the Board.

He believes contribution, collaboration and EQ are the key drivers to achieving results. Paul is currently serving on the Board of Directors of Sharethrough, Inc., and VideoAmp, Inc., where he also serves as the company's Chief Financial Officer. As the first CFO of The Trade Desk, Inc. (TTD), Paul rapidly prepared the Company for its IPO while helping grow TTD's revenue more than 20x over five years. Paul and the TTD leadership team created more than $20 billion in market valuation over the same period as the company transitioned from being a private enterprise to a profitable, NASDAQ listed company. During that time, Paul negotiated and closed approximately $500 million in debt financings, a $60 million share buyback/tender offer, managed a complex cap table and designed/implemented equity compensation plans, all while building the corporate infrastructure teams (accounting/finance, treasury, tax, HR, legal, IT, real estate) from scratch in advance of the IPO. After leading the highly successful IPO, Paul spent several additional years continuing to grow TTD before retiring from the office of the CFO to focus on investing in and advising other companies. Earlier in his career, Paul held several CFO roles in technology or related industries, including for other publicly-traded companies. His experience at these companies included extensive capital raising and M&A activity.
