The operational challenges that face start-up enterprises are nothing new to Paul, who helped get Netscape Communications off the ground as the company's first vice president of marketing. Paul joined the Foundation Capital team in 1996, and since then has focused on enterprise software and Internet technologies. Paul serves on the board of Envestnet, Financial Engines and formerly served on the Boards of United Online (NASDAQ: UNTD) and Onyx Software (NASDAQ: ONXS). Paul also serves on the board of the Stanford University DAPER Fund and is Chairman of the school board for Summit Preparatory High School in Redwood City. Prior to his time at Netscape, Paul worked in a variety of senior management positions at Silicon Graphics Inc. and Hewlett-Packard. Paul loves to spend time with his children, play the guitar and piano (poorly), and dream about the days when he could participate in sports without having to rest every few minutes. In addition to a Masters in engineering management from Stanford, Paul holds a BS in mechanical engineering from Princeton.
