Craig Crawford
hired Paul as a Project management consulting in 2003 , and hired Paul more than once
Adjunct Professor of Management at Rice University
“I first met Paul at Rice University. I had signed up for "Financing Projects" class under
Executive Education program. Paul is an outstanding Professor, very much involved and
passionate about his teaching. Over the years we met several times and he was gracious
in inviting me to be a consultant for his new venture "Project executive Group". During one
of our meetings at "Starbucks" Paul asked me what I really wanted to do with my life and
how I wanted to provide value!! That question was probably instrumental in refining my
thoughts that eventually gave birth to Risk Group. Paul did bring out the best in my
thought process. I would gladly recommend Paul in any venture he gets involved in.”

reported to Paul at Fluor Corporation
Presenter at the Annual PMI Risk Management Symposium - 2006
"We met at the PMI Risk SIG Symposium in Houston earlier this year, where we were both
presenters. Honestly, I found your presentation to be not only the highlight of the
conference, but one of the best presentations I've attended all year. You brought us right
into the world of project financing, and opened my mind to a whole complex risk scenario
I didn't know existed. I have a feeling we may cross paths again, and hoped we might
keep in touch. You may remember me -- I spoke on organizational impacts of different
levels of risk (project, enterprise, etc.)." - August 25, 2006
