Bio
Regina Guggenheim
Working with Paul was a distinct pleasure. For the better part of a decade, he was my counterpart in presenting the Broadway at the AT&T PAC. He demonstrated expert technical knowledge, generated detailed budget and labor calculations, and maintained a ready wit. He made my job easy. Paul is team builder and empowering leader. I had the opportunity to work with with the team he put in place when he transitioned to a higher management role and away from the day to day technical oversight. His colleagues provided the same top-notch service as a testament to his care and professionalism.
