Paul Sullivan

Paul Sullivan is the founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for Lead Dads – men who are the go-to parents at home, who support their spouse’s careers and who are allies to Working Moms and caregivers in general at work – and partnering with companies to make small policy changes that have a big impact.

A long-time New York Times columnist, Paul became a Lead Dad in 2013 when his wife started her own asset management firm. He spent the next seven years as an Undercover Lead Dad. This all changed in 2020 when without school or camp being a Lead Dad and working full time became untenable.

Paul is the author of the books Clutch: Why Some People Excel Under Pressure and Others Don’t and The Thin Green Line: The Money Secrets of The Super Wealthy. He has been interviewed on podcasts, radio and television programs across America, and given key-note talks to corporate and conference audiences from 50 to 500 people in the United States, Mexico and Chile. He holds degrees in history from Trinity College and the University of Chicago.
