Career History
A career in electronic engineering turned to FS sector software dev in the late 1980s, founding Webline in 1995, the first online internet quote comparison solution. As a pre-eminent quote platform, with large-scale UK intermediary adoption including Money Supermarket, the FS division of Capita acquired Webline in 2006 where Paul remained in a non-executive chair capacity until 2009.
Beyond Encryption and AllMyPlans were ringfenced, the latter developed as a consumer aggregation platform and introduced to Runpath Digital, a Fintech firm supplying many online brands, where he was invited by the ABI to participate in Pension dashboard project discussions.
A merging of AMP and Runpath software followed, and subsequently the businesses themselves. During that period Paul was introduced to Experian who acquired the business in 2017. Paul exited to focus on BE to build the secure email solution platform, Mailock, which has deployed at scale into the FS sector and others.
