Paul Tate

Paul Tate is an accomplished leader with over 15 years of experience driving growth and executing go-to-market strategies within the hair and beauty industry. Throughout his career, he has successfully scaled organizations from "underdog" status to market leadership, notably growing Shortcuts into a dominant salon software company in the UK and North America, ultimately leading to its acquisition by Constellation Software in 2013.

After Shortcuts, Paul spearheaded the operations to ensure the rapid growth and eventual sale of the hair color start-up Pulp Riot to L’Oréal in 2018, during which he served as COO through the brand's integration.

Today, Paul serves as CEO to SalonInteractive focusing on connectivity, innovation, and sustainable practices that empower salon owners and independent stylists.
