About Tim Paul
As Head of Talent Acquisition & Strategy at Capital One, I lead enterprise-scale recruiting, workforce planning, and leadership development across multiple high-growth business lines. My focus is simple: align talent with strategy so organizations can grow further, faster.Before Capital One, I spent 12 years as a Naval Officer, leading teams through combat deployments and later overseeing the Navy’s talent acquisition operations during one of the most complex recruiting landscapes in recent history. Those years taught me a truth I carry into every role: systems and strategies matter, but everything rises and falls on leadership.Today, I specialize in:Designing holistic workforce strategies that balance build, buy, and borrow approaches.Scaling recruiting analytics and workforce planning models that give leaders clarity and confidence.Developing succession and leadership pipelines that turn managers into culture carriers.Translating data into executive-level decisions that move organizations forward.What drives me is impact; because talent isn’t just an HR function. The people you hire and the leaders you grow ripple into every corner of a business. They shape strategy, culture, and ultimately the legacy an organization leaves.
