Paul A. Brisson

Engagement Management / Managing Partner

After spending several years in Boston, MA, Paul returned home to Ballston Spa to continue a legacy.   His passion for entrepreneurship took shape as a child.  Establishing several small ventures, he learned how to navigate through the business world and understand the sacrifices and rewards of running several companies. 

While attending Bryant College, his entrepreneurial passion took shape through his studies in the classroom as well as within the campus community.  Understanding the classroom experience was only part of what the university could offer, he became actively involved with, and the founding president for, the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO).  Since graduating from Bryant, the torch burns bright for this chapter and they have won several awards and national recognition.  This organization is the driving force behind Bryant University being one of the leading schools nurturing entrepreneurship at the undergraduate level.

After graduation, he spent several years in private banking, working at the prestigious Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.  prior to venturing off into both an entrepreneurial venture and a career in strategy consulting.  Growing up using technology as a business solution, he spent many years learning the benefits of technology offers businesses.  Joining the team at Vology Corporation, a computer technology startup, he first served as Chief Financial Officer, moving into the role of Chief Operating Officer and finally becoming President of the company.  Vology at the time was revolutionizing high-performance personal computing, offering the fastest and most efficient computers to businesses, graphic designers and gamers. 

During that time, he also joined Ascend Consulting, an IT strategy consulting firm focused on serving the niche channels of financial services and insurance.  After spending almost a year with Ascend, and working for clients such as Fidelity's 'Pyramus Investments', Royal Bank of Scotland's 'Citizens Financial Group' and State Street Bank, he was recruited to join Ciber, Inc.  Ciber being ranked as one of the premiere outsourcing providers for IT consulting, this opportunity allowed him to join the team at Biogen Idec and redevelop their internal account management system.

In 2008, he began to focus his attention on assisting Brisson Associates clients and transitioning the team at Vology.  With his renewed focus he began building the Brisson Associates client roster, as well as bringing new resources to existing clients.  In 2009, Brisson Associates established a practice of engagement management bringing the following specialties to our clients in need of full life-cycle consulting:
     - Graphic Design,
     - Web Design
     - Marketing & Advertising
     - Financial Advisory
     - Contract Negotiation

Today our business is proud to offer the analysis, resources and execution teams to help our clients achieve their dreams.

His vision is to build the first full life-cycle small-business strategy consulting firm by focusing on how 'Main Street', not Wall Street, can help lift the United States out of economic crisis.  His goal is clear: build strong, stable and successful businesses in small town America.  By building a strong business community, we can create jobs, reduce our impact on the environment, and establish a standard for social responsibility upheld by all stakeholders throughout the community. 

One of Paul's heroes is President Theodore Roosevelt.  A man which defines the pioneering spirit which makes the United States unique and great.  His favorite 'Teddy' quote is a testament to the spirit of entrepreneurship alive within Brisson Associates:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt, Speech at The Sorbonne, 1910
