Paul has over 25 years’ experience as an economic and political strategist. He founded View from the Peak in 2011, seeing a need for a truly global, multi-asset class research platform that focuses on the interactions between public policy, economic trends, technology and geo-politics. View from the Peak takes its name from Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island and the firm aims to look at the world from a 360-degree view with an Asian perspective. Clients include endowments, family offices, government agencies, asset managers and corporates. The firm has offices in Hong Kong, Chicago and London.

Paul, like many China watchers, has been disappointed with the tone and substance of the debate regarding the future of US-China relations over the course of the last several years. The need for a more sensible debate forms the genesis behind the US-China Series, which seeks to rationally cover these complex issues, while being cognisant of different opinions and philosophies. The US-China series also aims to promote a message of co-ordination which is critical when discussing the future of the most important geo-political relationship of the 21^st century.

Prior to forming View from the Peak, Paul spent 15 years in Investment Banking and Asset Management. He was the Managing Partner of Corus Capital Management, a multi-strategy Asian focused hedge fund based in New York.  Prior to forming Corus in 2005, he held Asia focused roles at Moore Capital Management, Goldman Sachs and Macquarie Bank.  Paul holds a Bachelor of Economics and Politics from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
