He reports to chief executive officer Dan Burns.

“As we continue to grow our business organically and inorganically, and expand into new geographic regions, we needed a leader with a track record of accomplishments with transformational programs and large international teams,” said Burns. “Paul is a solid business leader with extensive experience in leveraging the power of technology and operations to achieve business goals. His experience, combined with his deep management and technical expertise, makes him the perfect fit for Optiv, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome him on board.”
