‘Coaching’ and ‘Training’ are as distinct from each other as Mr. Paul Weaver himself is from run-of-the-mill sales leaders. The élan, with which he draws the line between these two often interchangeable concepts, compels anyone to remain all ears to his thought-provoking ideas as he speaks. No wonder, he brings the best out of the sales teams at Renishaw, instilling the right approach and confidence to excel.
Mr. Paul Weaver, Vice President - Sales & Marketing, Renishaw India, is undoubtedly the go-to-person for Renishaw as much for his years of extensive knowledge and domain expertise as much as it is for his out-of-the-box thinking.
The unorthodox approach was visible from his life as well when after attending Dover Grammar School UK for his schooling, he opted for a National Higher Diploma in Electricals and Electronics Engineering at East Kent College coalesced with apprenticeship in one of the major electrical manufacturers, instead of pursuing coveted fancy higher degrees, that offer little help in real industrial life according to him. In his own words, “I think practical education helped me better excel myself skill set than bragging a degree devoid of practical know-how”, a case he cites as prevalent among today’s unnumbered engineering pass outs in India.
“I believe you should never go to university just for the sake of university. Do what is right for and in my case what I opted was perfect for me.”
To rightly suit his choice of study route, he took up his first job at an electrical test equipment manufacturing company of global scale as regional export manager in the mid-’80s. This was followed by his stint with a global electronics major where he made his way up to lead the $100million revenue generating sales team of the company across the globe and at a young age.
His journey with Renishaw “is relatively young” in own words and started in December 2014. He joined Renishaw as Sales Development Manager in the Group Sales Development department.
He helped to support and train the management team by building and running a Leadership Development Programme throughout Europe and Asia, utilising past management experience. Meanwhile, he became a key coach and mentor to many of the sales and business managers across these regions and is passionate about supporting their continued professional development.
His extensive market and industry expertise coupled with his outstanding achievements with the sales teams in Asia and Europe provided Renishaw with confidence as in him Renishaw found an excellent leader who could adroitly guide the sales development in the tricky Indian market. Soon, he was inducted as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Renishaw India.
