The Unconventional Path
14 interviews. 14 job offers. Never lost.
Started at a mall kiosk. Rose to Fortune 50 AVP leading 1,000+ people. 4× President's Cabinet. $1B+ in revenue over 20 years.
Did it working fewer hours. Home by 5pm. No weekends. Built teams with love, not fear. Then walked away from a $500K+ role to build in AI.
WHAT I BUILT
Two Decades of Proof
HOW I WORK
What colleagues and leaders say
Paul took a chance on me, seeing potential I didn't know I had. His energy and positivity pushed our teams to heights we didn't think attainable. Paul is a believer, mentor, and guiding light.
Working with Paul was deeply transformative. His compassion and focus on building from strength made me feel truly seen. Paul leads with vulnerability, creating trust and openness.
Paul's calm, thoughtful, and empowering leadership was pivotal in growing our business. He translates complex data into actionable strategies that drive results.
Paul pushed me outside my comfort zone, allowing me to become an authentic leader. He taught me how my voice can make a difference.
HOW I THINK
The Takisaki Method
80/20 Everything
Focus on the 20% that drives 80% of results. Eliminate the rest.
Build Systems
Not brilliance. Sustainable systems that outlast any individual.
Lead with Love
Not fear. Build people up. They'll run through walls for you.
After 20 years of quietly outperforming louder leaders, I reverse-engineered what actually works. It's not a script—it's a custom operating system.
