Paula S. White has an unwavering passion for music that she applies in order to bring new perspectives and open new possibilities for leaders. As a globally recognized sales leader, Paula has leveraged her talents to scale inside sales teams into multi-million stand-alone sales channels. She has helped organizations achieve 8%-10% yearly compounded growth, demonstrating success in a wide variety of industries. After working with Paula, leaders are transformed to listen to their inner rhythm and positive behavior traits to serve the people they lead.

Before pursuing her current passions through Side B Consulting, Paula enjoyed 15 years of success climbing the corporate ladder. This success included serving as President of the AA-ISP Columbus Ohio Chapter from 2015-2018, earning a spot as one of the Top 25 Most Influential Sales Leaders for 3 consecutive years, winning the award for Excellence in Execution in 2017 and being placed in Ambitions’ “Top 100 Coaches to Watch” in 2017 and 2018. But throughout those long years, Paula always felt that there was something off in her implementation of traditional leadership methods — they didn’t feel like her. Paula finally concluded that she needed to find her own distinct leadership style. After spending both time and money investing in pursuing the core skills that paralleled her unique values, Paula knew that she needed to share what she had learned with others.
Paula’s new book, Side B: Remix Your Leadership Style was an instant sell-out as readers responded to Paula’s strong message “Show up as the leader you were meant to be (and that your people need to see) with the power of your playlist.” Paula was also recently named Mentor of the Year by #GirlsClub, an organization that is committed to changing the face of sales by empowering more women to earn roles in leadership, helping reverse the zero growth trend of women leaders in sales. She is also an active member of the group Women Sales Pro, a virtual community championing more women in sales and sales leadership in companies with "male majority"​ sales teams - SaaS, tech, manufacturing, distribution, Fintech, financial services, utilities, and telecom.

After spending nearly a decade pursuing a career in the music business (Interscope Records; Paradigm Talent Agency; GALANTIS), David moved into tech in 2021 following the temporary (but severe) impacts of COVID-19 on the music business.

As he pursued a new direction in tech, one question formed at the forefront of his journey: how can we elevate principles of helping people – particularly, creatives (who in the past, were often not equitably credited for their work) – in this new, rapidly evolving era of tech?

A longtime proponent of decentralization; supporting the artists pushing culture forward; and new to the rise of NFTs – Haas found himself with a new question. With billions (more) in projected revenues on the table for Web3, how will we approach accountability when developing sustainable practices, cultures and communities in this new world?
