Paul Allen is a Margin Recovery Specialist and Founder of Margin Partners.
For over a decade, Paul has worked with founders, CEOs and leadership teams across Australia and New Zealand to identify where margin is being quietly given away — and how to recover it.
His work is based on a simple but provable finding: most businesses don’t lose margin through strategy. They give it away through everyday decisions — in contracts, in over-servicing, in missed opportunities to reprice value, and in a lack of visibility on profitability.
Paul has applied this approach across 70+ engagements and tested it with more than 750 CEOs through Vistage and CEO Institute forums, identifying over $30M in recoverable margin.
He developed the Margin Recovery System™ to make these patterns visible, measurable and fixable — helping businesses become properly rewarded and respected for the value they create.
