About Paul

Two career changes defined my path into product marketing: entertainment and consumer marketing to B2B tech, and project management to PMM. I wanted to move beyond managing execution and help shape strategy, positioning, launches, and adoption. I knew I needed new skills to make that pivot, so I went back for an MBA at UCLA Anderson and built the business and marketing foundation to take the next step. Breaking into PMM still meant translating my experience, filling the gaps, and competing with candidates who already had the title. Once I got in, I learned quickly, delivered results across established tech companies, early and late stage startups, and earned broader strategic responsibility. Six years later, I became a Director of Product Marketing. That transition now shapes how I help accomplished professionals build a credible case as PMM candidates, close the skill and knowledge gaps that could hold them back, and compete effectively in a crowded tech job market.
