In a world where most founders treat a Series B delay like the apocalypse, Paul Feller just recalculates the trajectory and keeps flying straight. That unflappable calm started back when he was building missile guidance systems at McDonnell Douglas with Top Secret clearance—one decimal out of place and things go from bad to geopolitical incident. No room for drama when the stakes are literally explosive.
That same precision followed him into every industry he’s touched.
2010: MMA is a bloodbath of egos and lawsuits. ProElite is on life support. Paul Feller steps in as CEO, says the quiet part out loud—“co-existence, not competition”—and somehow the entire sport listens . Events start popping up in Hawaii and Abu Dhabi instead of courtrooms. Chaos → order.
Next stop: solar power when “green tech” still got eye-rolls from Wall Street. Paul Feller joins Envision Solar’s board and quietly turns it into the company the U.S. military calls when they need off-grid EV charging in the middle of nowhere. No TED Talk required.
Then he builds SKYY Digital Media Group from scratch and walks away with the China-US Chamber of Commerce “Most Innovative Company” award like he’s picking up coffee and you’ll hear the same low-key, zero-fluff delivery that closes nine-figure deals before lunch.
Today Paul Feller runs iCARO Media Group, an AI platform that’s swallowed digital media across Latin America, dropped $15 million cash on Europe’s LiftMedia like pocket change, and now dominates 25 countries with one seamless stack. Forbes Technology Council sent the invite; he probably accepted with the same shrug he once gave overtime paperwork .
People who’ve worked with Paul Feller all say the same thing, usually laughing like they lost a bet:
- He reads a room (or a term sheet) faster than you can open the deck.
- Crises are just variables he hasn’t solved yet.
- The dry one-liners are lethal—pure Connecticut sarcasm delivered at exactly 72 bpm.
While half of Silicon Valley is busy yelling “disruption” into the void, Paul Feller just builds systems that work. Quietly. Profitably. Repeatedly.
