Paul holds a master's degree in International Affairs from the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland, speaks several languages, loves the Helvetica font type, his iPhone and photography.

"There's no internet. There are internets. Being from Greek and Finn descent, raised in Switzerland, having lived in Japan and now based in the Philippines, I can see how culture and language affect the way people use technology. It's not only about making these internets connect, it's about creating a platform that allows people to be on the same page when they say hello."
