Paul Wright

Paul joined Ravensbourne University London Board of Governors in 2024. He is a Board Advisor and Strategic Consultant, supporting companies at moments of growth and transformation across advertising, media, retail media and technology. His work builds on more than three decades operating across multiple markets, regions and business stages.

Prior to this, Paul held senior leadership roles at Uber, Amazon, Apple, Omnicom, Sky, Bauer and AOL, alongside a range of start-up, consultancy and entrepreneurial roles. He has seen the industry shift from traditional media in the 1980s through digital marketing, platform businesses and retail media, to the emerging impact of AI. He remains passionate about the opportunities and responsibilities these changes create.

Paul has also been an entrepreneur and investor, with several successful exits during his career, including a business he co-founded that was acquired by Sky in 2006. He now advises founders, leadership teams and boards on commercial strategy, partnerships, growth and building high-performing teams.

Paul is dyslexic and a strong champion for neurodiversity across all workplaces. He is an accomplished speaker and commentator on advertising, technology and leadership, has been recognised through industry awards for his and his teams’ work, and is an active mentor to people across the sector.

He also provides insight on business strategy as a guest lecturer on the Future London Academy Design MBA. Paul studied Geography at UCL, which brought him to London, and he has been a passionate Londoner ever since, where he lives with his family.
