Compact biography

After studying geophysics, Paul became more and more fascinated with the potential that tech and opensource software could bring to progressive and humanitarian organizations. He has worked as tech coordinator and advisor in several non-profits, currently the Clean Clothes Campaign.

His first encounter with Plone dates from 2003, and after visiting the 2004 Plone Conference he knew this was a community he really enjoys being part of. So, since then he has been keeping active. He currently is part of the documentation and accessibility teams, and is a Board Member since 2011. Since 2012, he has served as President of the Plone Foundation.
