4THBIN Leadership Team
 

Paul Kirsch
CEO

Paul was the initial investor in 4THBIN and has been an active board member since the company’s inception in 2008. Paul took over as CEO in November of 2019 to lead the company through its next phase of growth and national expansion. Prior to joining 4THBIN Paul was the president of Chemours’s $2.7 billion-per-year fluorochemical operation. He also previously held positions as vice president at XM Satellite Radio, vice president at Hughes Telematics, and president of automotive, metals, and aerospace at Henkel. Kirsch holds a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and earned his MBA from the University of Michigan.

For those who know Paul, it would be easy to identify a quote, or in this case, a speech that would describe his approach to life. It would be the “Man In the Arena,” a famous speech by Theodore Roosevelt, that calls us to challenge ourselves; embrace failure; ignore those that will criticize; and perhaps most importantly, accept who we are.

John Kirsch
Co-Founder/President

John started 4THBIN with another IT expert looking for a solution. John understood the importance of data security and the challenge companies faced with the disposition of their electronics. As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention, and it is certainly the foundation that 4THBIN is built on.

Prior to 4THBIN John was the Director of Marketing and Business Development for Control Group Inc., a New York City- based enterprise technology and software development firm. In addition, John managed the IT infrastructure for Addison Design’s three offices located in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. John has also served as Board of Director for Open House New York since 2008 and sits on Public School 8′s Executive Board. For John, a diehard hockey fan, his life’s motto comes as no surprise‚ “You miss 100% of the shots you never take.” For him, this sums up life. You can’t succeed unless you try, and that means putting yourself out there and taking action.
