Hi, I’m Paul Kim.

I’m a startup marketing, community and growth advisor and executive based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve devoted my career to helping startups grow through harnessing the disruptive power of technology and entrepreneurship.

Marketing and growth leadership for:

Splice CMO

Issuu VP Marketing

WeWork EVP Digital Marketing

Klout VP Marketing

Automattic  VP Growth

Mozilla VP Marketing

Adobe Sr. Product Marketing Manager 

The journey

I was most recently Chief Marketing Officer of Splice, empowering music creators everywhere. Before that, I led marketing at Issuu, the leading digital publishing platform (acquired by Bending Spoons).  I joined Issuu after serving as EVP digital marketing for WeWork, VP Marketing for Klout (acquired by Lithium Technologies) and VP Growth for Automattic, the makers of WordPress.com.

At Mozilla, I launched four major versions of Firefox, growing the user base to 350 million and achieving 25%+ market share, while building the marketing team from just myself to 30+ worldwide.

I started my tech marketing career at Adobe, driving the worldwide launch for Creative Suite 2, a $1B+ run rate product family.

I received an MBA from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and an AB from Stanford. I live in Berkeley, California, with my wife and our daughters.

Let’s connect

I love the disruptive power of technology and entrepreneurship and have devoted my career to helping startups grow.
