Paul Reioux

VP of Engineering & Product Seismic

Engineering with depth.
Product with purpose.

28+ years building software across domains that couldn't be more different — flight control systems at BAE Systems, AR headsets at DAQRI, hyperloop vehicles at Virgin, and enterprise platforms serving global sales teams. I shipped several top‑10 mobile applications in their day, and learned what it means to build for millions of people at once.

Today I lead engineering and product at Seismic, focused on the platform that helps modern sales organizations work smarter. The breadth of that journey shapes every decision I make: technically rigorous, product‑minded, and always oriented toward real‑world impact.

  • The Common Thread

    Flight control systems, top-10 apps, global enterprise software — three careers that share almost nothing except the engineer who built them. On what it actually takes to go deep in an industry you didn't grow up in.
