Passing of Paul Dryden

All of us at Porter Novelli are devastated to hear of PRINZ CEO Paul Dryden’s passing. We have always known him to be a talented and dedicated professional, and a fabulous husband and Dad who adored his wife and son. Whatever he did he threw himself into it – whether it was his sports, sponsorship, events, or management – and we have valued his professional contribution to our industry. He’s always had a big heart and boodles of integrity, the type of character who sought to make a real difference. For a profession that relies on the power of words, we cannot convey how sad we are all feeling for his wife Jill and son James. Jill was formerly Managing Director Auckland at Porter Novelli and is well known to many of us here and in the wider international Porter Novelli community. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
