Charles Paul was the CEO of Worldwise Education. He is a former high-school teacher who left the ranks of education for a career in corporate finance. Paul was Managing Director of mergers and acquisitions for two prominent investment banking firms in Southern California and served as the CEO of his own merger and acquisition firm that he sold in
2001. Nearly $1 billion exchanged hands as a result of his closed transactions.
Together with his wife, Katherine Pham-Paul and Edgar Crocker, Charles co-founded Worldwise Education to demonstrate that a for-profit business can generate shareholder value and simultaneously benefit a social cause — in this case, provide teachers with educational materials needed for their classrooms at low cost or free of charge.
