PAUL WILLIAMS, FOUNDER
Paul Williams is a former Investment Banking Executive and serial entrepreneur. Paul is a founding partner of Pillow Fight Championship and a co-founder of StingBox LLC, a network security product manufacturer. Paul resides in Jupiter Florida with his wife of 40 years, Lisa. Paul has two children and grandchildren.
Paul’s investment bank experience reviewing business plans led to the evolution of his brother, Steve Williams’ initial plans for an MMA business. Paul reasoned that “while combat sports are the fastest growing sports in the world, some viewers detest violence and not all brands want blood stains on their logos’. Thinking back to a favorite childhood pastime, Paul and Steve developed the idea of competitive pillow fighting featuring world class athletes and MMA fighters and PFC: Pillow Fight Championship was born.
