Paul-Denys Calixte has accumulated over a decade of experience in the due diligence sector through his employment, over multiple positions, with sister companies Southern Pulse L.L.C. and Evidencity Inc.. Welcomed into the due diligence investigations branch of Southern Pulse during the last semester of his graduate studies at Georgetown University in 2013, he ascended to directorship of this functional area within the calendar year. In a simultaneous effort alongside Southern Pulse CEO and Founder Samuel Logan, he brainstormed, codified and identified relevant national-level resources for the global customized due diligence service that would first engage with the market as Evidencity, Inc. in 2016. Upon the latter company’s founding, he was named as the Director of Research Operations, holding this position until November 2021; an increasing awareness of the need to proactively identify and catalog available public databases in those jurisdictions within coverage led to the creation of the Data Supply functional area, which he led through March 2023.
Over the course of the aforementioned professional experiences, Calixte developed tight-knit relationships with a corps of correspondents based in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia. The vast majority are dyed-in-the-wool investigative journalists, accustomed to carrying out discreet interviews with knowledgeable, local human sources in service of enhanced due diligence reports as well as their own publications. Their invaluable support has allowed for the inclusion of on-site document collection and human intelligence to the spectrum of Project Cyrano services.
