About Paul Logan
Paul Logan first visited the Bay Area in 2013 on tour with a punk band. He had no idea that five years later he would return to pursue a tech career at unicorn startups like Slack and Postman. In 2021 he attempted his own startup, a detour that led him to Berkeley Haas.
At Haas, Paul coached peers in public speaking as president of Improv Club, co-founded the startup consultancy Pitch Poets with classmate Suraj Seghal, and emerged as an ardent voice for questioning capitalism on campus, drafting the Haas Doctrine on the Social Responsibility of Business.
Paul holds a BS in Computer Science from Indiana University and now works as a Senior Product Marketing Manager at NVIDIA, leading go-to-market for Enterprise Game Development. He lives in Berkeley with his wife Darby and their two dogs, Spanky and Oreo.
