Build.
Scale.
Deliver.

I’m Paul Schulz: a builder by instinct who loves to code, create SaaS platforms and bring innovative products to market. I combine hands-on engineering with CTO / CTPO leadership and a disciplined focus on quality, reliability and customer outcomes. AI and data are at the core of everything I do today, from commercial agentic products to the way software is designed, built and delivered.

One career. Multiple technical lenses.

Executive range, builder mindset

I love the craft of building: coding, shaping SaaS platforms and turning new ideas into useful, commercially successful products. From founding and selling software businesses to leading 350+ engineers at Yahoo!, a 100-person product and engineering team at Perkbox, and global technology at Skedulo, I’ve worked across the full product lifecycle. I bring a disciplined quality mindset to architecture, engineering, security and operations. Today, AI and data are central to every Ask the CTO engagement, from delivering agentic services to applying AI throughout product development and software engineering.
