Paul Contomichalos (Biography)
Former Chairman & President of Bristol-Myers Squibb(BMS) China, Co-Founder and Chairman of Profex Inc.

While MBA education teaches you how to operate an existing organisation in an efficient manner, the entrepreneurial dimension and organisational innovation is not necessarily a significant part of it. That's why Paul Contomichalos, Former Chairman & President of Bristol-Myers Squibb(BMS) China, Cofounder and Chairman of Profex Inc. was at CEIBS Executive Forum on September 24, 2003.

Mr. Contomichalos shared his experience in BMS and his new start-up, Profex Inc. and explained how he saw the difference between being a professional manager and an entrepreneur. He also put forward some suggestions on how to start a new business, form a clear mind, build strong teams, create a sense of importance for analysis, and how he created his own business model.
