Paul Kolada
Board Member, Retired Principal
During his time at PD, Paul was fondly known as the professional office wanderer. He managed the office by circling and keeping his finger on the pulse of the work. He embodied a management style that empowered his team to take ownership and make decisions. His goal was to keep designers, modelmakers and engineers “happy” (OK, reasonably happy). Paul has a sense of adventure; while on vacation, he slept in an actual Viking hut in Newfoundland (in case you didn’t know, they don’t really let people do this)!
Paul is now tasked with the daunting challenge of retirement but we couldn’t let him get too far away and so we kept him serving on our Board of Directors.
