In 2014 Paul, together with CFO Patsy Watson, orchestrated the sale of Stenham Property and a substantial part of the assets under management, by way of a share deal to a JSE and BSX listed entity, now known as Stenprop. Paul was appointed as the CEO of Stenprop and continues in that position. Paul graduated as a lawyer at Edward Nathan & Friedland Inc in South Africa.
