Paul identifies as a Bundjalung man, with traditional kinship ties to Wirri and Birriah First Nations. In addition to founding Corporate Culcha and National Wellbeing Alliance, he is also the part-owner of several other successful Supply Nation-certified businesses, including Geared Up Culcha and Yaru Water. 

 

Prior to establishing Corporate Culcha, Paul held senior management positions in state and federal government departments.   

 

Paul has a Bachelor’s Degree in Aboriginal Community Management and Development from Curtin University. He has worked with OxFam on community development projects with Indigenous people in New Zealand, Guatemala, Mexico, America and Canada.

 

Since founding Corporate Culcha in 2008 and developing and nurturing a wide and varied client base, Paul has led detailed consultations with each organisation regarding their First Nations workforce engagement, mentoring, and/or cultural awareness needs, ensuring that the specific requirements of each group are met.  This has resulted in over 600 face-to-face cultural awareness programs being delivered by Corporate Culcha facilitators, each individually tailored to the client. 

 

Paul is focused on identifying and nurturing talented facilitators and consultants within the First Nations community, supporting many through accredited qualifications and assisting them in developing the skills necessary to engage First Nations and non-First Nations learners and to support their successful completion of training programs.

 

Paul also has a background in developing First Nations workforce and economic development strategies for government and corporate enterprises.  He also supports organisations to develop effective First Nations procurement plans.

Paul is a die-hard Rabbitohs supporter and is happy re-living the 2014 grand final over and over again!
