Over his 20 year career, Paul McLean has helped develop corporate culture, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills for a number of multinational corporations such as Qlik, Samsung, Konica Minolta, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific, SAVVIS Inc., WAM!NET Inc. and Canon. Paul is now a senior leader at Palo Alto Networks, a top cyber security company, and specializes in talent development and human performance. In 2016, Paul had the opportunity to visit Uganda through a corporate social responsibility trip. While volunteering with We See Hope, Paul faced a turning point in his life and was moved and  inspired to create a children’s charity. He realized the power of children and wanted to help underprivileged children access education in order to help them reach their potential. After his eye-opening trip, Paul created Dreams for Life with the mission of building smart communities and prosperous futures for underprivileged children. The program is based on the Montessori method to encourage both education and life skills. It also helps develop community members as educators and school administrators. Their latest project, The Sumba Smart Centre, just broke ground and will provide teacher wages and training, plus education for 79 Kindergarten-aged children.
