Paul Lien is Partner, Senior Consultant, and Branch Office Manager of PCI Executive Search Consultants in Beijing. In addition to managing branch office operations, Paul often manages “tier-one” search assignments for senior executives and job seekers with very discrete skills.

Over the years, Paul accumulated valuable professional experience and industry knowledge from management assignments at well-known multinational companies, such as Timex, Unisys, and Hewlett-Packard. While working at HP, Paul was sponsored to complete EMBA courses at National Taiwan University, which endowed him with solid theoretical knowledge in business management and hands-on experience.
