About the Speakers

Paul Sharma

I have devoted my time and life as ambitious learner. As a problem solver who excels at guiding teams through challenging projects, identifying goals, and helping leaders build high performance teams; I am able to bring value into a variety of organizations within an appropriate timeline and framework. Throughout my career, I have been driven by my intellectual curiosity to find answers to the most pressing questions! I take an exhaustive approach to everything I do and I always make sure my clients are at the centre of all critical resolutions.

Prior to launching Blue Canyon Consulting, I was interested in learning more about the staffing industry, having spent almost four years working for some of the big names in the industry, I thought it was time to take the idea of talent management and recruitment to a different level and help organizations build high performance teams, solve hiring challenges, resolves issues and challenges with respects to culture and most of help candidates build rewarding careers, by adding a simple dose of the “human touch.
