Intelius CEO and leadership

PAUL COOK is a forward thinking executive, a visionary strategic planner, and an energetic business builder with depth and breadth of experience in across all functional areas. He believes that trust is the foundational point for growth and the formation of a culture that supports people and processes. His experience extends into all organizational areas and he brings process improvement to engineering, product, sales, marketing legal, IT, and HR. Paul’s ability to strategize and communicate the goal, keep internal teams aligned, effectively track, and communicate accurately to shareholders dramatically raises the economic profile of a business. Throughout his career, Paul has helped pave the way for his teams to succeed. At TalentWise, he was known as the “truth teller,” an aggressively transparent leader and trust-based communicator who was willing to say what needed to be said in order to drive positive change. He feels that people must learn from their mistakes in order to grow, and grants them autonomy in navigating challenges, mitigating risk, and making decisions. Paul excels in the development and deployment of teams that respond well under pressure, are focused on the endgame, creatively solve problems, and hold themselves accountable.A collaborative, emotionally-intelligent senior leader, Paul eagerly anticipates his next role in taking a growth-focused company to the next level. A best-fit opportunity would be as a CEO/COO for a company involved in a disruptive software sector with a SaaS business model eyeing rapid growth and in need of improving processes and developing markets. He will prove to be instrumental in building a sound strategy, optimizing candidate selection, reducing operating costs, consolidating solutions, implementing a seamless automated workflow process, and leveraging the dynamism of the cloud. Success, according to Paul, requires the right people working together to build a trust-based culture of empowerment.
