Paul Baron moved away from corporate life to become an adviser, investor, and advocate for startups and innovation. His knack for putting out fires is both figurative and literal, he is an expert problem-solver and volunteer firefighter in his spare time.
"I’ve enjoyed a career that spans consulting, government and large corporates but have recently returned to my startup roots this time as an investor. I also work as a consultant and as adviser mostly in the tourism, digital and government areas.
My son thinks I’m like Kenny (from the rental toilet film rather than South Park) perhaps because I love meeting people from all walks of life and chatting to them about their lives and their passions."
