As Interim Chief Technology Officer at CHIP, Malcolm Paul partners closely with the founder to shape and execute the company’s technology strategy, balancing ambitious product goals with the realities of early-stage growth and lean budgets. A tech enthusiast, lifelong learner, and entrepreneur originally from the Caribbean island of Dominica, Malcolm brings cultural perspective and deep experience helping startups define their technical vision, build resilient systems, and scale effectively.
In this role, he leads CHIP’s most critical engineering initiatives — from strategic hiring and mentorship to prioritizing stability and forward momentum — while advising on key technical decisions, trade-offs, and long-term scalability. Malcolm collaborates cross-functionally to align technology with business objectives and customer needs, implements cost-effective development frameworks, and leverages trusted partners to deliver MVPs with minimal overhead, freeing leadership to focus on growth and market traction. He has also established foundational infrastructure and vendor relationships that position CHIP for rapid iteration and future expansion. Serving as a bridge CTO, Malcolm combines strategic guidance with hands-on problem-solving until a permanent technical leader is in place.
