LEADERSHIP

Founder & Chief Innovations Officer

Role at Hawk-Eye
To think of things from an alternative perspective and to always question and challenge the convention. To be as irresponsible as possible!

Previous Experience
Paul founded Hawk-Eye pretty much straight from university. He says it is a very difficult business to leave.

Favourite Sporting Moment
All Ireland Gaelic Hurling Final. Having been to many finals of various sports, where the story is at least partly about how much money is at stake. The purity of no money being at stake, but pride and passion for the game really shone through. And who can't have a good time in Dublin with a Guiness in their hand!
