C-Speak: The Language of Executives
Nutter partner and St. Jude board member, Paul Ayoub, on the greatest contributions we can make
Paul Ayoub, chair and partner of the law firm, Nutter, grew up in West Roxbury (Ward 20) in a Syrian and Lebanese American family that instilled strong values in him. In this episode of the PNC C-Speak podcast, he says his family never took anything for granted and his dad taught him, “The privilege of whatever you receive is to give back.”
Ayoub’s dad is the reason he has invested more than 30 years serving on the board at St. Jude Research Hospital.
“Service to others is the greatest of contributions that we can make. And it is the most important of legacies we can leave,” Ayoub said. “Younger people may not be thinking about their legacy, but they should be thinking about their present and their reputation, and how they're showing up in the world around them — whether in their family, community or work.”
Listen to this episode to hear more about:
- Ayoub’s upbringing in Boston and how his dad helped write the bylaws for St. Jude Research Hospital alongside actor Danny Thomas.
- His role at Nutter, where he specializes in business and commercial real estate finance and development, and what makes it fulfilling.
- Forming the CRE-DEI Collaborative.
- Some of the hard lessons Ayoub has learned in life.
