Lois Paul co-founded Lois Paul & Partners in 1986, with the aim of building an agency that did high-tech public relations a different way. Coming from the computer trade press, she wanted LP&P to be a strategic, informed resource for the media, analysts and clients -- and a positive, people-oriented place to work. As the leader of Lois Paul & Partners, Lois oversees all areas within the company including corporate focus and direction, client services, business development and day-to-day operations. She also frequently provides public relations counsel and media training to client CEOs and senior executives. Prior to founding LP&P, Lois was executive editor/features and a founding member of PC Week (now eWeek). During her tenure, she was responsible for more than 50 percent of the newspaper’s editorial content and specialized in reporting on the computer software industry. Prior to the launch of PC Week, Lois was senior editor/software at Computerworld, the leading computer weekly publication at the time. Lois received her bachelor of arts summa cum laude in journalism from Temple University and M.S. in computer information systems from Bentley College. She received the 1998 Distinguished School of Communications and Theater Alumnus/a Award from Temple University. Lois is on the planning committee of the Women’s Leadership Institute sponsored by Bentley College. She also serves on the advisory board of the high-profile industry conferences DEMO and DEMOmobile, which introduce new products and services that shape the technology industry. |
