Paul  Blanchard  started  in  business  at  the  age  of  17,  and  is  the  founder  and   principal  consultant  of  Right  Angles.  With  offices  in  London  and  New  York  and   a  staff  of  twenty,  the  firm  is  at  the  cutting  edge  of  professional  reputation   management.

For  his  clients  Paul  is  an  enabler;  a  consigliere,  confidante,   adviser,  fixer  and  friend.  He’s  had  some  spectacular  global  PR  successes  –  all   of  which  you  will  read  about  in  his  book  –  and  some  ridiculous  failures  too  –  of   which  only  some  will  appear.

Alongside  his  media  consultancy  practice,  Paul  had  an  active  career  in  politics for  well  over  a  decade:  a  former  parliamentary  advisor,  he  served  six  years   elected  in  local  government  and  stood  for  Parliament  in  2005,  his  campaign   gaining  the  largest  vote  increase  in  the  country.  He  has  a  degree  in  Law,  and   Fellowships  of  the  RSA,  The  Royal  Institution,  and  the  Institute  of  Leadership   &  Management.

A  self-­‐confessed  media  geek,  he  also  presents  the  popular  podcast  Media   Masters  –  a  series  of  one-­‐to-­‐one  interviews  with  the  very  top  people  in  the   media  world.  With  several  hundred  thousand  listeners,  it  is  one  of  the  most   listened-­‐to  media  podcasts  in  the  world.  Away  from  work,  he  lives  with  his   wife  Heather  (and  their  dogs  Billy  and  Betty)  on  a  farm  near  the  village  of   Moulsoe,  Buckinghamshire,  UK.
