Paul Walker is an eight year veteran of FranklinCovey Co. Today, he serves as one of five general managers in FranklinCovey U.S. operations. He oversees the Central Region, an 11 state area that also includes Ontario, CN, in the capacity of General Manager. As such, he and his team are responsible for the sales, marketing, business development client, relations and financial revenue in the region.

Paul began his career with FranklinCovey in 2000 in the role of business developer, and was responsible for creating business with existing clients and new client opportunities in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. He exceeded his sales goal by 16% and increased territory lead flow by 20% in his first year.

Paul was then hired and served in the position of client partner in Chicago for five years. He consistently exceeded his sales goals each year, growing the business by 216% during this stretch. In 2006, because of his success in building the business, he was promoted to be the area director for the Chicagoland area of the Central Region. He successfully led a five-member team to achieve a 44% increase in revenue over the prior year while managing some of the company's largest corporate clients.

Prior to working for FranklinCovey, Paul was a senior sales partner for Alexander's Digital Printing, where he was responsible for the sales and management of the company's two largest accounts. Previous to that position, Paul was a middle-market pilot coordinator with New York Life, where he worked closely with field-based agents between New York and Utah, coordinating the sales effort, managing program lead-flow and outbound prospecting activities.

Paul graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. He and his wife, Melissa, have four children and currently reside in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.
