Paul Hill

Paul retired in 2002 after a 36 year career in law, commercial banking and consulting in the Southeastern U.S. During his years in private practice with a major Atlanta law firm, Paul helped rewrite the Georgia Securities Law and served in leadership positions with both the Georgia and American Bar Associations. Following this, he held a range of executive positions, including General Counsel, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, with two leading Southeastern Banks (Wachovia Bank, which since merged with Wells Fargo Bank, and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta). His activities during this 23 year period included helping negotiate the country’s first interstate banking laws and co-founding the Georgia Affordable Housing Corporation. While in Atlanta, he also served as an Officer and Board member with several community organizations including Atlanta’s Midtown Alliance, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and the Southeastern Flower Show, which he and his wife helped found, as well as with a number of educational institution boards. Paul spent his final three years of work as a consultant to financial institutions and a Board member of Enterprise Social Investment Corporation (now Enterprise Community Corp.) one of America’s leading affordable housing finance agencies.
