Paul has spent the last 5 years working on the convergence of IT and T.

He's held roles in strategy, marketing, sales and new product development for the largest hosted service provider in New Zealand. As such he's been a very early leader in utility computing, embraced SOA before it was even called that and been cogitating a lot on the new trends he sees in IT, how disruption occurs, how incumbents react, structure themselves and address disruption and innovation.

He's also been closely watching the Web 2.0 phenomenon, SaaS and other service provider models.
