Entrepreneur, mom, and a champion of women around the world, Priya loves work, life, and everything in between. She founded and operated India’s largest childcare business, won many awards for her work – Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, Young Turk, FT1000 for Asia, and Red Herring Asia, to name a few – and today, she is Bright Horizons’ Chief Digital and Transformation Officer. She also has a bachelor’s degree in engineering, an MBA from London Business School, and a unique perspective on what fits work and life together.
Paul is the founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating community and resources for Lead Dads. Its mission is to help Lead Dads – who are the go-to parents at home and allies to moms at work - feel less isolated and more confident in the choices they have made. As a Lead Dad himself, Paul understands intimately the joys, frustrations, isolation and reticence around talking about being a Lead Dad. It’s a role that is growing in numbers but is far from normalized.
Before starting The Company of Dads, Paul wrote the Wealth Matters column in The New York Times for 13 years. He also created the Money Game column in GOLF Magazine. As a journalist for 25 years, his articles also appeared in Fortune, Money, Conde Nast Portfolio, The International Herald Tribune, Barron’s, The Boston Globe, and Food & Wine. He is the author of two books.
Paul lives in New Canaan, Connecticut, with his wife and their three daughters and three dogs. He received degrees in history from Trinity College and the University of Chicago. When not running The Company of Dads or being a Lead Dad, he is an obsessive golfer.
