"I hired Paul as The RealReal’s first head of IR prior to the company’s 2019 IPO. Paul was instrumental in the IPO process and standing up a well-run IR function. His deep capital markets knowledge was tremendously valuable to me and the company. In addition to being very capable and experienced, Paul is also collaborative, proactive and detail oriented. He owned his role and earned the respect and trust of leaders across the company. Paul would be an asset to any company." - Matt Gustke, CFO at Woo Commerce and former CFO at The RealReal
"Paul and I collaborated at The RealReal where he joined as our first head of Investor Relations and I was a board member. Paul did a great job helping orchestrate a successful IPO by helping public market investors understand the nuances of a company that was building a new category in recommerce and was the first IPO in that category. Paul is a strong team player, smart and articulate. I have enjoyed my interactions over the years with him. I am happy to recommend Paul and his firm as an IPO advisor." - Keval Desai, Founder and Managing Director, SHAKTI Capital and former Board Member at The RealReal.
"I have known and worked with Paul in several capacities for several years, both when he was within the Finance team at BFA industries and when he was an equity analyst at Merrill and Credit Suisse. From my experience with him, he demonstrated great financial acumen, a strategic mindset, the ability to lead big projects and the ability to influence others with the organization. At BFA, Paul was hired to assist with investor communications and IPO readiness, which he drove. I also interacted with Paul when I was CFO at Groupon and he was an equity analyst. I found Paul to be thoughtful, well researched and intellectually curious. He understood the big picture while having the ability to capture important details. Overall, Paul is great to work with and is a great Finance leader." - Mike Randofi, CFO at Sabre Corporation and former CFO at BFA Industries/Ipsy, Groupon and Orbitz

Paul was a trusted partner to me and is well known and respected for his IR skillset in the capital markets. I look forward to any opportunity to work alongside Paul in the future." - Chris Hubbard, CFO at ecoATM/Gazelle and former SVP of Finance at The RealReal
"Paul and I worked together at The RealReal for nearly 3 years. During that time, Paul was a trusted business partner and invaluable member of The RealReal finance team. As the Head of IR and Capital Markets, Paul was an instrumental leader in driving the S-1/IPO process and establishing the Post-IPO investor relations functions. Paul is a seasoned executive and it would be a pleasure to work with him again in the future." - Steve Lo, Chief Accounting Officer at The RealReal
