PAUL A. WILLIAMS MBA. (Hons), B.Sc. (Hons), Dip. Chem. Tech. P.E.Managing Director

Paul Williams has distinguished himself as an exceptionally shrewd, albeit nurturing, Managing Director and CDSL Co-Founder, with a keen instinct for meticulously assembling the right team for each cutting-edge, distinctive project that he helms under the CDSL umbrella.

A trailblazing engineer and entrepreneur with more than two decades of related experience, Paul’s extensive background in both the public and private sectors has brought him in contact with developers whose budgets and construction needs have been diverse. His portfolio spans constructing a contemporary marketplace at the former site of a crumbling, archaic structure, building a modernized hospital equidistant to Jamaica’s two main cities, to erecting a luxury hotel complex that is so breathtaking in its architectural design and engineering pedigree that it attracts a steady stream of guests who overwhelmingly bask in its unparalleled, exquisite workmanship.

A consummate professional, Paul’s reputation for individualized attention to all aspects of his projects is as well-known as his painstaking oversight to ensure that every single work product in his portfolio conforms to industry standards. Paul’s commitment to his craft is rooted in his unwavering desire to build structures that inspire confidence, comfort and satisfaction in the boundless scope that undergirds the CDSL brand.

Prior to establishing CDSL with two trusted partners, Paul worked as the Chief Project Manager at the Urban Development Corporation (UDC), Jamaica’s primary development entity. In his senior role at the UDC, Paul oversaw an annual budget of JA$27B and led the Project Management division where he was responsible for over 150 staff members, many of whom he continues to mentor today.
