Paul Aronsohn has spent most of his life committed to public service and committed to the American tradition of "giving something back to the community".
In fact, at almost every stage - as a high school student in Bergen County, a college student in Washington, DC, and a professional in and out of government - he has demonstrated a profound sense of civic mindedness.
He has also proven willing and able to tackle tough, critically important issues. From national security to healthcare, his background is as impressive as it is relevant to the times in which we live.
PUBLIC SERVICE EXPERIENCE
Paul spent several years working on foreign policy and national security issues as a member of the Clinton Administration. At the U.S. Department of State, he gained tremendous experience working on a wide range of international security matters - from nonproliferation to arms control to peacekeeping to Middle East policy. He also had the opportunity to serve three American Ambassadors to the United Nations - Madeleine Albright, Bill Richardson, and Richard Holbrooke.
Following his work for the Clinton Administration, Paul came home to New Jersey where he spent one year working as the Communications Director and Spokesperson for then New Jersey Governor James McGreevey.
Since moving to Ridgewood, Paul has been an active member of the Ridgewood AM Rotary club and was recently seen “trying” to sing and dance in Ridgewood High School’s Jamboree.
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
Paul has also worked at one of the most respected healthcare companies in the world, Pfizer Inc., where he has been a public affairs executive. At Pfizer, his responsibilities have been extensive and have involved international, national and local issues. Most of his efforts have focused on promoting greater access to life enhancing, life saving medicines.
