Top SchoolPaul Jobson is an experienced CEO and turnaround specialist with 13+ years delivering strategic, commercial and operational transformation across professional bodies, healthcare, and regulatory tech.

His track record includes driving £8bn of international business opportunities, quadrupling growth plans for software firms, and stabilising newly formed public bodies toward financial independence.
