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
