I'm Paul Saunders, I believe in thinking differently and challenging the status quo. Where someone else sees one idea, I see five others. I look at the way everybody else does something and find another way, I examine every single part of a business process and I am constantly evolving them. I think it's okay to not know what I don't know, and often allow a stream of consciousness to come out of my brain like a fire hose. I'm okay with being disruptive if that proves to be more successful and creates a positive change that works. If you're looking for somebody who thinks outside the box, and is unafraid to push the envelope, and your seeking innovative ideas give me a call.
