Paul Williams is the Vice President and Lead Planner at Redwood Family Wealth, where he helps families and professionals bring clarity, structure, and confidence to their financial lives. He combines more than two decades of experience in financial planning and corporate management with a calm, practical approach that guides clients through meaningful life and financial decisions.
Paul joined Redwood after serving as Principal of Dominion Financial Advisors, a Texas‑registered fiduciary firm providing comprehensive financial planning and wealth management. His earlier career includes senior leadership roles across the national restaurant and retail real estate industry, where he advised executives, operators, and development teams on long‑range planning, financial strategy, and growth decisions.
