Bio
Jared Theisinger
Paul is an exceptional leader, who demonstrated empathy, and understanding to both his reports and the wider organisation. Having worked with Paul at Adaptalift, I felt comfortable to discuss with him all areas of my development, and gained greater understanding of not only the current working environment, but gained greater insight into my own skills in leadership, customer relationship management, and business acumen. I would be happy work with Paul again, and hope to again in the future.
