Paul is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of ideeli. Since launching the site in 2007, Paul has driven the company's innovative vision, managing a high-growth business that now delivers carefully-curated, limited-time sales every day across the categories of apparel, accessories, home, beauty, kids, travel and experiences to the site's nearly 4 million U.S. members.
Being a leader in the world of online entrepreneurism is nothing new for Paul. In 1989 he founded Cypress Research, which combined e-commerce with embedded upgrade technology years ahead of the internet. Cypress Shopper, a component of the company's MegaPhone fax software for Macs and PCs, shipped over 10 million copies to 23 countries. In 1994, he founded Aveo which invented the now pervasive concept of pre-emptive technical support, with its products adopted by Hewlett Packard, Gateway, Dell, Kensington and Logitech. Paul's third company, Alset, Inc., was founded in 2001 and helped leading brands such as Best Buy and Micro Warehouse use the internet to simultaneously improve service and marketing.
Paul is a co-inventor for two U.S. patents and for ten years served on the board of Volunteermatch.org where he helped corporations manage their volunteer efforts with thousands of non-profits around the world.
He graduated from Yale University and is a Henry Crown Fellow at The Aspen Institute.

A good bag will go anywhere. It dresses up, it dresses down, and streamlines its way through the ordinary days that fall somewhere in-between. And for the woman who wants her bag to match her personality, no “it” bag will do. That’s where Kooba comes in.
