Thank you for coming to this Paul Talk
Paul Perreault isn’t your typical keynote speaker. He is the former CEO of one of the 200 largest companies in the world — a leader who’s shaped global organizations, mentored rising executives, and navigated some of the most high-pressure moments of modern business, including leading critical healthcare efforts during the pandemic.
Paul doesn’t do buzzwords or business trends. Ask him how he feels about the concept of failing fast. Spoiler: he’d rather succeed fast, and he wants you to do the same.
Conversations that matter
These topics track Paul’s core values. Expect a session with him to explore one or more of these themes.
Culture, Strategy, and the Ego Check
What it takes to build sustainable companies — and why some leaders get in their own way.
Leadership with a Bill Murray Attitude
Staying grounded, human, and real, no matter how many titles you earn.
From Data to Decisions
Why informatics matters more than information overload — and how leaders turn insights into action.
Embracing The Detour CEO
Why your non-linear path might be your biggest asset.
What to expect
Paul blends corporate expertise with uncommon relatability. He’s confident, but not performative. Candid, but kind. And when he talks about business, he talks about people — because at the end of the day, that’s what matters most to him.
Paul speaks from experience, not ego. He offers wisdom earned through doing the work, and he delivers it with just enough humor to make it stick.
His hope? To connect, to challenge, and to leave you better than he found you. Paul wants people to walk away with one or two things they can use to lead with greater purpose and enhance their personal impact.
Booking Paul
If you’re looking for buzzwords and business-as-usual, you won’t find that here. But if you want a speaker who’s real, reflective, and remarkably sharp — someone who can shift a room without ever raising his voice — you’re in the right place.
