Until recently, Paulo served as a series development consultant for MBC Studios, the production division of the Middle East Broadcast Center, the largest media company in the MENA region.

Prior to that, he spent over a decade at Universal Television and NBC Universal, ultimately serving as Senior Vice President of Cable Programming. There, he developed and oversaw cable TV series for USA Network and SyFy Channel, including USA Network's popular shows Monk and Psych, as well as SyFy's hit series Eureka and Battlestar Galactica.
