Storyflight Labs Names Paul Wellener to Board of Directors

Storyflight Labs, a public benefit corporation supporting people with speech-limiting disabilities and conditions, has named Paul Wellener to its Board of Directors. The appointment comes as the company continues to grow its partnerships and expand access to its flagship products, the AI-powered text-to-speech app Talk to Me, Goose! and Fable’s Adventures, a personalized audio storytelling platform.

Wellener brings more than 40 years of experience as a business leader, management consultant, and board member. As a former Vice Chair at Deloitte, Paul was responsible for leading the US Industrial Products business, driving rapid growth within one of the firm’s most dynamic sectors. In his board role, he will provide strategic insight, advisory support, and help lead governance efforts for this emerging organization.

“Paul has been a trusted advisor and mentor to me for more than 20 years,” said David Betts, Board Chair of Storyflight Labs. “What has always set him apart is a genuine investment in the people around him. That, combined with his extraordinary record as a business leader, makes him an invaluable addition to our board as we grow in both number and impact.”

Wellener is a sought-after advisor, speaker and mentor, advising management teams on global strategies. He serves on the boards of Jumpstart Inc., University Circle, Inc., and the Peninsula Foundation, and he has been recognized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and Carnegie Mellon University as someone deeply passionate about the causes he is committed to.

“Communication sits at the heart of human connection,” added Wellener. “The work Storyflight Labs is doing to restore that for people with speech-limiting conditions is something I believe in deeply.”
