Paul Sullivan is the founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for lead dads. Its mission is to help Lead Dads feel less isolated and more confident that they have made the correct choice to take on the bulk of the parenting and family duties, or at the very least, not embrace stereotypes around who does what at home.

As a journalist for 25 years, Paul got his start as a reporter at Bloomberg and Institutional Investor.

Paul is the author of two books, Clutch: Why Some People Excel Under Pressure and Others Don’t and The Thin Green Line: The Money Secrets of the Super Wealthy. He has been interviewed on podcasts, radio and television programs across America, including NPR Marketplace, CNN, and Fox News. Paul has also given keynotes to audiences ranging in size from 50 to 500 people, spanning the United States, Mexico, and Chile. Today, he lives in Connecticut with his wife and their three daughters and three dogs. When he is not running the company of dads, he is an obsessive golfer.
