Trusted Consultant to the Investments Industry

Achieving successful business outcomes

I am a highly versatile and experienced management consultant and business leader in both the investment and the consulting industries.

I began my career at PwC, working on large-scale M&A, product launches and outsourcing programmes before spending more than a decade at a specialist boutique firm, deepening my expertise in outsourcing and operating model design.

In 2009 I co-founded Knadel, helping to build and scale a successful consulting and technology business, and later played a key role in guiding it through multiple private-equity and trade sales, including the integration work that followed. Most recently, I led the AWM practice at Davies before choosing to return to hands-on client delivery as an independent consultant.

What sets me apart is a blend of strategic vision and practical execution. I am equally comfortable working at board level or in the operational detail. I can work across functional silos, cutting through stakeholder tension and driving progress with clarity, pace and commercial discipline. When complexity or resistance threatens momentum, I can bring calm direction and help ensure the leadership teams I am working with achieve the outcomes that matter.

I’ve worked with many consultants over the years, but few bring the blend of insight, pragmatism, and drive that you get with Paul. His ability to quickly distill complex operational, commercial and legal issues and deliver clear recommendations is genuinely impressive.

He’s an engaging partner who listens deeply, challenges constructively, and communicates with clarity at every stage.

The result is support that feels both strategic and grounded, and solutions that deliver real, measurable impact.
