About
Paul
Raben-Christensen
Paul brings you a wealth of leadership development and talent management experience gained from all over the world. Born in England and now based in Hong Kong, Paul is quietly proud of his Danish heritage and the Danish way of speaking ‘lige ud af posen’ – which loosely translates as straight talking – in a constructive and solution-focused setting and never neglecting the instinctive Danish respect for privacy.
There’s a common thread running through the diverse senior roles Paul has had in in hospitality, telecoms, management consulting and aviation, and that common thread is people. Paul’s talent is to uncover your hidden talent – creating brilliance in people and organisations.
An accredited professional with a record of high-profile projects, Paul is passionate about driving diversity and inclusion strategies and initiatives to support organisational growth.
