Designing the Africa he believes in.

Paul's career began on drawing boards. After a BSc in Architecture from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka — where he was admitted at sixteen — he earned master's degrees in Construction Project Management (London South Bank University) and Environmental Design & Property Development (Imperial College London), followed by an MBA from London Business School, with merit in Value Engineering.

As Development Director at Beacon Housing and then executive responsible for Property & Logistics at Regus plc, he helped open 190 business centres in 62 countries during the company's rapid global expansion.

In 1997 he founded Landmark Group, growing it across the UK, Europe and the United States before bringing the model home to Lagos in 2003 and, later, to Accra, Johannesburg and Nairobi. On a stretch of undeveloped Atlantic beachfront in Victoria Island he built what the BBC, Euromoney and the African Property Investment Summit called the most visited business, leisure and lifestyle destination on the West African coastline.

Today, Landmark has raised more than $100 million and carries a PwC-endorsed book valuation above $300 million — and is expanding into Enugu, Port Harcourt and beyond.
