Meet Paul House
Paul House has built a career that spans three decades and as many continents, from Arthur Andersen’s consulting floors to restructuring copper mines in Zambia, establishing energy infrastructure in Mongolia and running SGS’s Indian business for eight years, before landing as CEO and Managing Director of IMDEX, a $2 billion industrial technology company bringing data and artificial intelligence to the world of minerals exploration.
As CEO of IMDEX, Paul reflects on what it truly means to build strategy in a world where the ground shifts beneath your feet, why curiosity matters more than knowledge, and how to tell the difference between technology that is genuinely useful and technology that is merely compelling in theory.
He speaks too on the mental health challenges facing rural communities, the lessons drawn from Arthur Andersen’s collapse that still apply to boardrooms today, and the advice he would offer his 18-year-old self about embracing uncertainty and chasing the grey zones where the most interesting opportunities tend to live.
