Paul Wickers

CEO and Founder, Huggg

Paul is CEO and Founder of Huggg. Paul believes that the joy of gifting we experience in our personal lives should also be available in the workplace, enabling forward-thinking leaders and companies to craft a more human and celebratory shared experience for all. Paul started Huggg to make gifting at scale simple to implement, but still joyful to the core.Paul spent 14 years funding M&A transactions in the Structured Finance teams of RBS and Santander. During this time he had reason to study the gifting industry and developed the insight that the principles of giving and receiving emotionally impactful gifts could be evolved into a digital interaction, without removing its thoughtfulness. Paul set up Huggg in 2015 to build a platform to do just that. He left his job in 2016 and the platform was first launched in July 2017
