About Craig: Craig co-founded Paulson Training Programs, Inc. with his father Don Paulson in 1981. He holds a B.S. in Economics from the University of Rhode Island and an MBA in Finance from the University of Connecticut. Craig has held several positions within Paulson Training as the business grew from a two person operation. The majority of Craig’s efforts at Paulson have been in sales, marketing and administration, moving from Sales Manager, to Marketing Manager then to Vice President/General Manager. This allowed Don Paulson to devote his expertise to the development of the training products and services Paulson has offered over the years. Craig left Paulson in June 2002 after 20 years to pursue other interests. He has worked in the financial services industry, mortgage industry and most recently was the Senior Area Manager for a major consulting company based in Chicago that specialized in providing full service consulting to small and medium sized privately held businesses. Craig returns to Paulson very excited about continuing to help companies in the plastics industry excel through upgrading and maintaining the knowledge and skills of their workforce.
